Sony is planning to unveil new hardware for PlayStation 5, will include a PS5 “pro” controller

Apparently, Sony is working on a series of hardware for its gaming console, PlayStation 5. This includes a “pro” controller for PS5, which it plans to officially unveil soon. With all of this being said, there will be no new PS5, at least this year.

Tipster Tom Henderson revealed that a source close to Sony’s gaming console division has shown him images of a prototype of the upcoming controller.

The new controller retains the same basic style as the existing PlayStation 5 controller but will have a number of features. This will include removable stick units, which can be switched out using buttons below the analogue sticks. It will also have trigger stops and seemingly removal grip. The Pro controller will also have flappy paddles, similar to what we see in Microsoft’s Xbox Elite Wireless Controller.

Henderson also revealed that Sony’s new hardware is being referred to as the PS5 Pro Controller, although it is unclear as of now if it will be the official name. It will also have some significant software upgrades over the current generation of PS5 controllers.

Henderson also revealed that Sony’s gaming division is planning to reveal the controller soon, with one possibility that it will be launched by the end of June or July. Sony is also planning to launch other bits of new hardware. This may include a new storage solution that would be used with the open SSD slot.

As for the gaming side of things, Sony will apparently launch one of the most anticipated games of the year, God of War: Ragnarok, sometime in November. While it is unclear when the event will be held, it is likely that Sony will be announcing the launch date at the same event where Sony will be launching its new set of hardware for the PlayStation 5.

Sony held its latest State of Play live stream earlier this month. It featured reveals and updates mainly focused on PlayStation games from third parties, although it also showed off Sony’s PlayStation VR2 game Horizon Call of the Mountain.

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
