Microparticles carrying quick response (QR) barcodes are fabricated by J. Wang and co‐workers on page 3259, using a massive coding of dissociated elements (MiCODE) technology. Each microparticle can bear a special custom‐designed QR code that enables encryption or tagging with unlimited multiplexity, and the QR code can be easily read by cellphone applications. The utility of MiCODE particles in multiplexed DNA detection and microtagging for anti‐counterfeiting is explored.
