A universal method for creating monodisperse modulated microwires (see Figure and inside front cover) is presented. A great amount of freedom is possible in the modulation period that can be generated, allowing the storage of information in the modulated wires. These wires can be used as barcodes in biotechnology or as building blocks for self-assembled three-dimensional objects.
