Supernova Cosmology and the ESSENCE project (2005)

Sollerman, Jesper, Aguilera, Claudio, Becker, Andy, Blondin, Stephane, Challis, Pete, Clocchiatti, Alejandro, ...

The proper usage of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as distance indicators has revolutionized cosmology, and added a new dominant component to the energy density of the Universe, dark energy. Following...

Critical objects :the practice of research through making (2004)

Smith, Chris

This paper will be concerned with two themes related to issues of research and making in crafts and fine art. These are: 1) The iconophobia that has affected recent debate about the artefact,...
