Making chicken transparent using Dorito dust
A science writer has described an experiment in which a piece of chicken tissue was made transparent using dust from Dorito tortilla chips. The snack powder was used as an optical clearing agent, rendering the normally opaque meat see-through. The quirky combination of junk food and optics has drawn wide attention and amused reactions online.
Why now: The unusual and entertaining pairing of a popular snack with a real optics demonstration makes it shareable.
