All I read was, Eat more Doritos to become invisible...

wait till you find out what redbull offers

the ultimate question: Flight or Invisibility ?

Why not both?

I'll just pound redbulls and doritos until I become a ghost. Shouldn't take long, I'd expect.

Some of us can't be trusted with such power. I would personally use invisibility to switch items in people's coat pockets. Keys always in the left? Well now they're in the right pocket!

Total anarchy.

Go around crossing all lowercase Ls into Ts. Or add serif and turn them into uppercase i.

If someone left their PC unattended, I'd quickly change all fonts to Comic Sans.

So, I skimmed the article and may have missed it. Why is this anything more that tinkering with and (maybe torturing) mice? What's the actual scientific value here? (Assuming invisibility potion wasn't an actual goal)

Perhaps medical dyes for imaging?

They applied a yellow, food-safe dye to the skin of the mice and found it caused light to refract in such a way that their skin became significantly more transparent. An article I read (I did not read this one) listed some potential uses like making veins visible for blood draws and more precise tattoo removal. The dye washed off afterwards.

What's the actual scientific value here?

Transparent mice with multiple butts
