The strongest bond

The video covers highlights from NSF Science 360 News, including research on infrasound from Chilean volcanoes, the strength of protein bonds in cow stomachs relevant to biofuel research, and the Open fMRI project aimed at making brain scans widely available. It also promotes Science 360 Radio and its app.

What rare phenomenon did researchers capture from a Chilean volcano?

• The taste of volcanic ash

• The smell of volcanic gases

• The sight of a volcanic lightning

• The sound of a volcanic eruption sequence

What is the unique characteristic of the bond between two proteins found in a cow's stomach?

• It is magnetic

• It dissolves in water

• It behaves like a finger trap

• It weakens under pressure

How might the protein bond research benefit biofuel production?

• By making biofuels more expensive

• By reducing the need for fibrous plants

• By making biofuels cheaper to produce

• By increasing the toxicity of biofuels

What is the purpose of the Open F MRI project?

• To map the human genome

• To train neuroscientists

• To develop new MRI machines

• To create a database of brain scans

What potential application does Open F MRI have in understanding autism?

• It can cure autism

• It can replace traditional diagnostic methods

• It can help identify features in brain imaging data

• It can predict autism with 100% accuracy
