Thermochromic photonic capsules are microfluidically created by encapsulating cholesteric liquid crystals with a hydrogel membrane. On page 627, Y. H. Kim, S.‐H. Kim, and co‐workers demonstrate that these photonic ink capsules can be used as injectable colorimetric micro‐thermometers which potentially provide a temperature profile along the entire medium where the microcapsules are suspended.
