Xbox Rolls Out Evolving Gamerscore Badges and UI Tweaks

Microsoft’s Xbox is adding tiered, evolving Gamerscore badges that appear on profiles and the Xbox Guide, along with a new bootup animation and a new 'Game access' filter to better sort installed versus Game Pass titles across devices. Available to select Xbox Insiders now, the changes are incremental quality-of-life improvements aimed at refreshing the brand under CEO Asha Sharma and may hint at shifts in exclusive-games strategy rather than a major overhaul.

Interface-driven bulk oxygen spillover observed in Ru/TiO2 catalysts

Using in situ environmental TEM, researchers tracked oxygen moving from the TiO2 lattice into supported Ru particles at the Ru/TiO2 interface, revealing bulk, not just surface, oxygen spillover. The TiO2 lattice becomes reversibly strained to enable oxygen transport; this spillover is active for Ru on rutile-TiO2 but not on Ru on anatase-TiO2, highlighting the critical role of interfacial epitaxy and engineered metal–support interfaces in activating oxygen within the bulk catalyst and potentially affecting reactions.

"Horizon and Quest Unite: Meta's Interface Integration"

Meta is gradually merging Horizon Worlds into the Quest system interface, with Horizon destinations being prominently featured in the Quest's Explore tab and the renaming of Explore to 'Horizon Feed'. The merging process includes unifying the text chat systems and integrating Horizon Worlds into the Quest library. The next step could involve deprecating Horizon Home and having Horizon Worlds as the default home environment. Meta's investment in Horizon Worlds is evident, despite potential challenges and criticisms from competitors.

Google Chrome ditches lock icon for 'tune' symbol.

Google plans to replace the padlock icon that appears in the Chrome status bar during a secure HTTPS web browsing session with the "tune" icon, which is commonly used to indicate controls and settings. The lock icon has become outdated as HTTPS is now the norm, not the exception. The new icon aims to provide a neutral signifier so people don't misinterpret the lock to mean that a page should be trusted and to emphasize that security should be the default state for Chrome. The tweaked tune icon is slated to debut in Chrome 117, due in early September 2023.
