The dye – tartrazine, aka E102 – is a mostly-harmless dye used to make food yellow. In a paper published in the journal Science last week, scientists describe how the dye’s interaction with light allowed them to see through a living mouse’s skin and observe its organs. In another experiment, they made a thin slice of chicken breast temporarily transparent.
