Autoheal
This short film from the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP) is one of a series of clips which were produced to demonstrate the properties and use of a range of smart materials.
The silicon polymer sheet featured here has the property of almost instant self-repairing. If two freshly cut edges are pushed...
Autolysis in Yeast
Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), this investigation looks at the autolysis, or cell death, of yeast. This is important, as many food production processes require the living yeast to be killed.

Automated DNA sequencing output
The output from an automated DNA sequencing robot used by the Human Genome Project to determine the complete human DNA sequence. Each peak shows the presence of a particular base. The sequence of bases in a given stretch of DNA can therefore be read from the order of the peaks along the trace. The sequences of...
Automated for the Future is an inquiry-based elementary school educational resource. Students delve into the complex world of coding,...
Automated machines at Brompton
This film looks at why automated machines, such as a CNC machine, are used in the production of Brompton bicycles. The need for space has resulted in the manufacture of some parts being sub-contracted, which can create quality control issues....
A collection of five videos dedicated to Automated Transfer Vehicles (ATV). ATVs are expendable, pressurised unmanned resupply spacecraft developed by the European Space Agency (ESA). They are designed to supply the International Space Station (ISS) with propellant, water, air, payloads, and experiments. They can...
Automatic Lighting
This longer-duration activity involves prototyping a low-power lighting system. It could be used in an off-timetable workshop or across a series of lessons.
Students are challenged to work through the whole design process, and to place a micro-controller (in this case a BBC micro:bit) at the centre of the...
Automated systems control which neighbourhoods get policed, which families attain resources and who is investigated for fraud. The author investigates the impacts of data mining, policy algorithms, and predictive risk models on economic inequality and democracy.
