Scientists have invented a battery that operates on the same principals as an hourglass. It’s just a proof-of-concept design at the moment, but Chang et al. are confident they can build a viable prototype.

Any progress you make in a game will be saved and shared to both your PC and your Xbox One, in addition to your achievements and any downloadable content you've purchased on either platform for a particular game.
