DARPA’s Microsystem Induced Catalysis (MICA): Engineering the Next Frontier of Bio-Electronic Integration

  Introduction A new frontier is emerging at the convergence of biology and microelectronics—one that has the potential to redefine how machines sense, compute, and interact with the physical world. DARPA’s Microsystem Induced Catalysis (MICA) program sits at the center of this transformation, advancing a radical concept: the direct programmability of biochemical processes through electronic…
