Dark Matters

This August, SCIENCE examines what happens when scientific research goes too far, with the world premiere of "DARK MATTERS: TWISTED BUT TRUE". The six-part series takes viewers inside the laboratory to profile strange science and expose some of history's most bizarre experiments. Hosted by noted science fiction actor John Noble (Fringe, Lord of the Rings), "DARK MATTERS: TWISTED BUT TRUE" delves into the most unusual research ever conducted, including attempts to crossbreed humans and apes, actual zombie investigations and head transplantation studies. Cutting-edge CGI recreations enable viewers to witness the pivotal moments when brilliant minds face controversy or ethical crossroads on the fringes of science.
