Good ones:
- Moving Still (1980); development of film technology
- Race for the Superconductor (1988): recounts the feeding frenzy for high-temperature superconductivity after the Swiss found a ceramic superconductor.
- The Proof (1997): Fermat's last theorem
- Absolute Zero: The Conquest of Cold (2008): cryogenics

Not affiliated to the Open University apparently. But equally unopen which is funny.
TODO vs KEGG.
Notably in STEM, not so interested in literature of course:
Here's a SPARQL sketch for Wikidata that can be run at query.wikidata.org/. It gathers all the relevant data, but TODO we don't know how to do the proper query yet:

Paul's bastardness is more striking than his Nobel Prize and that is awesome.
