Join Discovery Science as it examines what happens when scientific research goes too far, with its astonishing new series - DARK MATTERS. Hosted by John Noble, renowned Hollywood actor, the series takes viewers into the world of strange science to expose some of history’s most bizarre experiments. The six-part series delves into the most unusual research ever conducted, including attempts to crossbreed humans and apes, actual zombie investigations and head transplantation studies.
DARK MATTERS offers a fascinating insight into the moments of scientific history where the individuals went to extreme measures to achieve a breakthrough. The series narrates dramatized stories of science on the dark and ragged edge of human understanding, where experiments can be ethically controversial and the results can be mind-blowing. Cutting-edge CGI recreations and incredible virtual sets enable viewers to witness the pivotal moments when brilliant minds face controversy or ethical crossroads on the fringes of science.

In an attempt to build an invincible army, Ivanov tried to crossbreed humans with apes to create a race of super soldiers. It also introduces Morris Jessup, a self-identified UFO expert who attempted to expose what he believed to be a military cover-up involving experiments with invisibility. Finally, unorthodox studies by America's greatest inventor, Thomas Edison, result in a dark and unintended invention which remains infamous today.
