Scientists transform wood from balsa trees into a transparent state that could someday replace conventional glass. The innovation is said to be stronger and five times more thermally efficient.

Scientists say they've used a common food dye to render the skin of a mouse transparent, revealing the workings of blood vessels and organs underneath.

Researchers have found that common food dye can be used to make skin, muscle and connective tissues temporarily transparent, suggesting that the procedure could be used in future to locate cancer ...

Oxford scientists claim to have created a transparent form of aluminum by bombarding the metal with the world’s most powerful soft X-ray laser. The substance is nearly transparent to extreme ...

A team of Swedish scientists has developed a transparent wood material that allows natural light to flow through and could be used for solar cell windows.

So leave it to Swedish researchers to figure out a whole new use for all that wood: they’ve made it transparent. In the future, this emerging material could be used as a stronger, more ...

Scientists found a way to make see-through mice, so they can study their insides while they're still alive.

A team of researchers claim to have created a biodegradable and renewable alternative to both glass and plastic in the form of "transparent wood," a futuristic new material that could greatly ...

Clear female zebrafish. Scientists have created a transparent fish that lets them see through its skin to watch the progression of disease in real time. The fish, a breed Zebrafish named Casper ...

Researchers in Germany have created transparent human organs using a new technology that could pave the way to print three-dimensional body parts such as kidneys for transplants. Scientists led by ...

Using light and ultrasound imaging technology, researchers have discovered how some frogs found in South and Central America have the rare ability to turn on and off their nearly transparent ...
