Caption
Dr. Zihao Ou, assistant professor of physics at The University of Texas at Dallas, holds a vial of the common yellow food coloring tartrazine in solution. In an article published in Science, Ou and his collegues report that they made the skin on the skulls and abdomens of live mice transparent by applying to the areas a mixture of water and tartrazine.
