tl;dr: An amateur attempt to replicate the 2024 Science paper that made mouse tissue transparent using tartrazine (the yellow dye in Doritos), by soaking raw chicken breast in tartrazine solutions. The author achieved only partial translucency rather than full transparency, likely because they used lower concentrations (~0.19 M vs. 0.62 M) and room temperature without a shaker. The post includes a detailed physics explanation of how the dye works: it shifts water's refractive index closer to that of proteins and lipids (~1.45), reducing scattering without adding much absorbance at visible wavelengths.
