Story summary

Researchers from Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and Fudan University created a method to make tissues transparent using ionic liquids.
This technique preserves tissue structure without causing damage, unlike existing methods.
Ionic liquids remain liquid below water's boiling point, enabling high transparency across different wavelengths.
The method allows organic tissue to retain its original shape while becoming transparent.
