Fume work is done by torching the vapors/fumes of precious metals onto cold glass. It's what gives glass the color changing effect. It's primarily done with gold or silver. Examples:appreciate the time you put into putting together a list.
do you mind expanding on the glass types you mentioned, is it just aesthetic descriptions or does it have to do with how it's made.
Line work is taking colored tubing rods and manipulating them to achieve certain patterns (wig-wags, reversals, etc.) another classic technique. Examples:
Scientific glass is basically just glass that focuses on fluid dynamics and diffusion of smoke instead of the artistic side of things. A lot of pieces incorporate scientific glass principles as well as art, but I'll give you a couple of pure sci glass examples:

There are other techniques and styles (millie/chip work, dot stacking, cold-working, carving, etc.) , but this should serve as a decent introduction.
