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.
There are many things that exist today, which will not be revealed for a decade or so. I can't say much without getting trouble, but I do know some people that work in classified projects for some government agencies, and they all say what the public knows is about 20 years behind what they have today. These all involve technology in the military which remain classified, and usually for a good reason, because you don't want the enemy to know what you have so you can have the advantage. This comes into play with asymetrical warfare, and full spectrum dominance. It would be illegal to talk about a lot of it, but I did see the drones that are used today, 20 years ago by someone I know that worked to develop them. All I can say there is a lot that's going on now that the public doesn't know about.
If you are curious to learn more, I'll point you in the direction of the disclosure project which has hundreds of government workers talking about the projects they worked on that are still not public:
