a tour of a semiconductor manufacturing facility in Michigan, where the allure of touching \u201cshiny\u201d silicon almost caused a serious injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere is, actually, a harvested U-rod,\u201d an employee at Hemlock Semiconductors in Saginaw informed Harris, 60, as she approached a <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/10\/16\/business\/dutch-chip-giant-blames-technical-error-for-accidental-earnings-release\/\">large piece of silicon<\/a> covered in what appeared to be plastic wrap.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan I touch it?\u201d the Democratic nominee asked as her right hand hovered over the metalloid rod.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo not touch it,\u201d the factory worker immediately responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Harris, 60, was asked not to touch the razor-sharp pieces of silicon at

an enticing plate of silicon crystal chunks, just beyond the U-rod display.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose are very sharp,\u201d another man on the tour informed Harris.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOK
