Ants infected with the lancet liver fluke are manipulated by the parasite to attach to grass blades during cooler temperatures, increasing their chances of being consumed by grazers. Researchers have discovered that temperature serves as a trigger for the ant's behavior, with the infected ants climbing down when the temperature rises to protect themselves from lethal heat. Only one fluke controls the ant's brain, while the rest await transmission in the ant's abdomen. This study sheds light on the sophisticated manipulation tactics of parasites and their impact on host behavior in nature.
Sony has filed a patent application for a new controller that can change temperature during gameplay. The controller could be made of a softer, elastically deformable material and could include a temperature control apparatus that adjusts the temperature of the material based on the game environment. This could enhance the haptic feedback and gaming experience for players. However, it's important to note that a patent application doesn't confirm the development of a future PlayStation system with this feature.
