There are few things that I love more than getting to the bottom of a good bit of bro science, and that's exactly what's going on today. Since the dawn of the pickup truck bed, drivers have been trying to figure out ways to eke out better gas mileage from the aggressively not-aerodynamic piece of body structure. That has been magnified by the sharp rise in gas prices we've seen over the past month or so. One of these solutions for better gas mileage in a pickup truck is fitting it with a tonneau cover, but does it actually make any difference? Well — as with everything in this world — the answer isn't exactly clear-cut.

Scientists found a surprising cancer fighter hiding inside tumors
Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) have created an experimental cancer treatment based on bacteria that naturally live inside tumors.
In preclinical studies involving prostate cancer, the therapy delivered striking results when paired with radiation treatment. The approach halted tumor growth by targeting the cancer cells' energy supply. The treatment is built from a small fragment of a bacterial protein called aurB. According to findings published in the journal Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, aurB disrupted energy production within tumor cell mitochondria, effectively depriving tumors of the fuel they need to grow.
Magnetic octupole model captures domain-wall motion in noncollinear antiferromagnets
Researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed the first magnetic multipole-based micromagnetic model for antiferromagnets. Published in Applied Physics Reviews, their generalized framework provides a theoretical and computational foundation for designing future spintronic devices made with antiferromagnetic materials.
Bees 'facial expressions' may be a sign of their inner lives

Deep learning reveals nanoparticle shape from routine tracking analysis without new hardware
Researchers at the University of Tokyo and the Innovation Center of NanoMedicine (iCONM) have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) approach that identifies the morphology of nanoparticles in liquid using data from standard nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), a widely used technique for particle sizing. The method achieved classification accuracies exceeding 80% for non-spherical nanoparticles without requiring modification of existing instruments.
