The researchers chose tartrazine because the dye's molecules absorb blue and ultraviolet light, which makes it easier for light to pass through the mouse skin. “For those who understand the ...

Materials firm Color Master Inc. has expanded its business model by acquiring resin supplier Rainmaker Polymers.

It was published in “Science” earlier this month. As part of the experiment, water and the dye called tartrazine were applied to the skin on the abdomen and skulls of mice. Tartrazine is ...

California is taking a stand against food dyes in public school food. The state has officially banned six harmful food dyes from all snacks and food options available in public schools – Red ...

California's so-called "Skittles Ban" doesn't take effect until January 2027, but if the new law already gives you pause ...

And they'll soon be banned in California public schools. Artificial food dyes are the target of a growing number of state bills that would crack down on the chemicals in response to scientific ...

Like fog, it scatters light, which is why it cannot be seen through. "We combined the yellow dye, which is a molecule that absorbs most light, especially blue and ultraviolet light, with skin ...

Stanford University researchers have discovered that tartrazine, a yellow-orange food dye found in Doritos, can make mouse skin transparent. This allows for non-invasive study of tissues and organs.

This prevents light from scattering and makes it possible to see through tissue where the dye has been applied. “It changes how people think about live-animal experiments,” Ou says ...

The “magic” uses insights from the field of optics. Light-absorbing dye molecules enhance the transmission of light through the skin by suppressing the tissue’s ability to scatter light.

I also have a “signature color,” red, which happens to be my favorite color, and I’ve been told many times that it looks good on me. But when I got my “colors done” recently at a color ...
