Another Zika Update & Quantum Physics Gamers

The video discusses recent research on the Zika virus, highlighting its impact on neural stem cells and potential links to microcephaly. Experiments show Zika's damaging effects on brain development, contrasting with dengue virus, which does not cause similar harm. Additionally, the video explores how citizen scientists are aiding quantum physics research through gamification, helping to solve complex problems in quantum computing.

What was the significant finding about the Zika virus discussed in the first section?

• It can cause the common cold.

• It has no effect on human cells.

• It may cause microcephaly by infecting developing brain cells.

• It is beneficial for brain development.

What did researchers discover about the Zika virus's effect on neural stem cells?

• Zika virus improves the survival of neural stem cells.

• Zika virus causes neural stem cells to die and form abnormal structures.

• Zika virus causes neural stem cells to grow faster.

• Zika virus has no effect on neural stem cells.

How did the experiments differentiate the effects of Zika virus from dengue virus?

• Both viruses had the same effect on brain cells.

• Dengue virus caused more damage than Zika virus.

• Zika virus specifically affected brain cells, unlike dengue virus.

• Dengue virus was found to be more lethal.

What is the purpose of the game Quantum Moves in quantum physics research?

• To entertain scientists during breaks.

• To simulate the effects of Zika virus.

• To help non-experts solve quantum computing problems.

• To teach players about classical physics.

Why are humans considered better than computers for certain quantum physics problems?

• Humans have more memory capacity.

• Humans can solve spatial puzzles and interpret images better.

• Humans are faster at calculations.

• Humans can work 24/7 without breaks.
