Scientists clarify chicken using Dorito dust

Original: Making chicken transparent using Dorito dust

A science writer describes making a piece of chicken transparent by treating it with dust from Doritos, a demonstration of tissue-clearing chemistry. The fat and pigment in the snack powder are used in the clarification process, leaving the muscle see-through. The unusual combination of junk food and lab technique has drawn widespread curiosity and amusement.

Why now: The surprising, quirky use of a popular snack in a scientific demonstration is amusing and shareable.
