Hong’s team dissolved the dye in an aqueous solution and created a transparency-inducing lotion of sorts. It worked, because the dye reduced the difference in refractive index between water and lipids in the skin. <br><a href="https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/09/mice-made-transparent-with-a-dye-used-in-doritos/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/science/2024/0</span><span class="invisible">9/mice-made-transparent-with-a-dye-used-in-doritos/</span></a></p>
