Things get published in journals and scientists are more than eager to publish their newest shiny toy, so that no one else can claim to have done that same thing.
Granted, most journals do require a subscription to read the whole paper, but the abstracts are always available online as soon as they are published, free of charge.
Like any newspaper, you need to buy in order to read it.
No no, you know, in the minds of conspiracy theorists, all the *real* research is done in magical super-secret military labs which are all 50 years ahead technology-wise compared to everyone alse.
Oh... so those are the scientists that are sucking up all the research budget, while us mere civilians have to contend with some crumbs... with yearly applications to to fellowships and projects and to work with 10 year old computers...
So... where do I sign up for those super secret military science-labs?
