Shane Hewitt & the Nightshift dives deep into two mind-bending scientific frontiers.
Molecular biologist and science communicator Samantha Yammine explains the newly engineered color "OLO"—a color the human eye physically can’t see. What is it? Why can’t we perceive it? And how did scientists even make it?
Then, astronomer and astrobiologist Sarah Rugheimer joins Shane Hewitt to explore a cosmic curiosity: possible alien “farts.” Using the James Webb telescope, scientists have detected dimethyl sulfide—a molecule linked to life—on distant exoplanet K2-18b. But is this the smoking gun of alien life, or just another mystery in the stars?
Curious minds welcome. Late-night science just got weirder—and way more fascinating.
