For a researcher to be successful, he or she not only needs to produce good research – it also has to gain exposure. However, there is competition for space in scientific and popular science journals. This has led to the growth of a grey area with unprofessional journals that take payment from researchers who want their work to appear. Kristoffer Holmqvist recommends the information on the Univers

För tio år sedan upptäckte forskare i Lund tecken på att en av fysikens mest fundamentala lagar, Coulombs lag, inte verkade solid i vatten. I experiment såg det ut som att två laddningar av samma tecken attraherade varandra.
