Keeping food fresh has never looked as fresh as it does with Thermador’s new line of refrigerators. The California-based company has just refreshed its refrigeration collection and debuted its largest capacity models to date — 36-inch single-door refrigerator and freezer columns.

Promising a host of modern technology, including TFT control displays, the ThermaFresh System, and FreeFlow Cold Air System to help you manage the temperature of your fridge for maximum preservation, these new columns promise to be as functional as they are attractive.

All the new refrigerators, freezers, and wine coolers feature a slew of user-friendly attributes, like Open Door Assist, which makes use of Auto Door Opening tech to get rid of handles altogether, and instead require only a push or pull. Thanks to Delicate Produce Bins, which are easily and fully removable, you can adjust the interior of your fridge or freezer as needed to store fresh fruits and vegetables.

Thanks to Theater Lighting throughout the columns, you’ll be able to see all the ingredients you’ve stored so you don’t have to worry that you’ll forget about the existence of that soup you made at the beginning of the week. And thanks to the FreeFlow Cold Air System, you can ensure that items you keep on door shelves will be kept cold, even if you open and close your fridge frequently, by adjusting the temperature of the doors to match that of the interior.

“With the new Freedom Collection, Thermador has thought of everything a luxury homeowner and ultimate entertainer desires in refrigeration — from incredible interior personalization options, to eye-catching design details,” said Beatriz Sandoval, director of brand marketing for Thermador. “The new generation of Thermador refrigeration also takes customization to unimagined heights, transcending the boundaries of traditional refrigerator/freezer combinations and transforming every column into a statement piece. From customized configuration of storage bins and shelves, to artfully crafted custom paneling that blends in with any kitchen design, the new columns deliver the utmost in style and innovation.”

While the Thermador brand has been around for more than a century, these new products are nothing but 21st-century. With their sleek design and elegant aesthetic, this is one fridge whose exterior you might like as much as its interior.

Chinese astronauts perform second spacewalk from new space station
China's "Heavenly Palace' space station

The International Space Station now has a new companion, as China recently launched its own orbiting space station. Chinese astronauts completed a spacewalk on Friday, August 20, to install equipment outside the station, marking the second spacewalk in the new station's lifetime. Named Tiangong, which means "heavenly palace," the station has already seen a first spacewalk within a few weeks of its launch.

The second spacewalk was performed by astronauts Liu Boming and Nie Haisheng, and details of the spacewalk were announced by the China Manned Space Agency, via space.com. They exited the station's core module at 10:12 a.m. Beijing time on Friday, August 20 (10:13 p.m. EDT on Thursday, August 19) and spent four hours working on the exterior of the station. They worked on moving equipment around the station using the robotic arm and also installing a backup part of the air conditioning system.

Clever new A.I. system promises to train your dog while you’re away from home

One of the few good things about lockdown and working from home has been having more time to spend with pets. But when the world returns to normal, people are going to go back to the office, and in some cases that means leaving dogs at home for a large part of the day, hopefully with someone coming into your house to let them out at the midday point.

What if it was possible for an A.I. device, like a next-generation Amazon Echo, to give your pooch a dog-training class while you were away? That’s the basis for a project carried out by researchers at Colorado State University. Initially spotted by Chris Stokel-Walker, author of YouTubers:How YouTube Shook Up TV and Created a New Generation of Stars, and reported by New Scientist, the work involves a prototype device that’s able to give out canine commands, check to see if they’re being obeyed, and then provide a treat as a reward when they are.
