Palma, Mallorca: three researchers each win €1,500 for science articles, with their work set to appear online. Daniel Adrover Roig, Violeta Cepeda Vidal and Antoni Aguiló Bonet are named winners at the close of Naukas Palma on Saturday at the Palacio de Congresos de Palma. More than 600 people attend the science event, the University of the Balearic Islands says on Monday.
Adrover wins the general category with an article on how a lie can seem true. Cepeda takes the research for development prize for a piece about the FARO-i project and whether a snack can do more than provide food.

The winning articles are due to appear on the digital platform The Conservation. The university says the contest aims to encourage teachers and students to communicate science.
