Swiss wizards can now create holograms using just chocolate
This is really amazing and beautiful: Chocolate etched with rainbow holograms using a technique that doesn’t use additives of any kind, but rather carves specific microstructures into the chocolate’s surface that defract light—much the same way that the security holograms on credit cards work.
