Despite being marketed thus far as a “Pixel tablet,” Google’s next foray into large screens will actually serve to replace the Nest Hub in your home, with a suite of familiar features.

Earlier this year, we reported that the Made by Google division was working on a new Nest Hub that we speculated could be powered by Android. Shortly thereafter, Google revealed its plans to launch a Pixel tablet in 2023.

While very little was shared about the tablet’s features, we did get a decent look at both its front and rear in renders. Despite the “Pixel” name, the 2023 tablet features prominent white bezels, a signature design trait of the Nest Hub series.

Meanwhile, around the back you can see “pogo pins” to connect the Pixel tablet to something else, though Google made no allusions as to what that accessory might be. We now have a much firmer idea of what these pins will be used for thanks to newly discovered Android code.

Just as we had initially reported, Google’s upcoming tablet will connect to a dedicated “dock” — somewhat humorously referred to as “Google Dock” in the code, though this is unlikely to be the final product name. Like you’d expect, this dock will charge the tablet’s battery when you’re not using it, and according to our previous report, it should also double as a home speaker.

A Russian designer has come up with a concept for a refrigerator called the "Bio Robot Refrigerator" that cools food using a biopolymer gel. It has no shelves, no compartments, no doors - you just stick food into the gel.

The idea was proposed by Yuri Dmitriev for the Electrolux Design Lab competition. The refrigerator uses only 8 percent of the house's energy for the control panel and does not need any energy for the actual cooling.

The fridge biopolymer gel uses light generated at cold temperatures to preserve food. The gel itself is odorless and non-sticky, and the refrigerator can be wall or ceiling mounted
