A recent discovery in Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza could reveal more about the construction of the world-famous landmark, according to a team of scientists from the “Scan Pyramids” project backed by the Egyptian Tourism Ministry of Antiquities.

The team used a non-destructive technique known as cosmic-ray muon radiography to scan a gabled limestone structure, discovering a nine-meter hidden corridor. The shaft is situated above the main entrance to Khufu’s Pyramid, one of the most significant archaeological monuments in the world and a site that still holds countless mysteries.

The Scan Pyramids team has been working on the project since 2015, using infrared thermography, 3D simulations, and endoscope cameras to probe the ancient burial structure. Scientists reported several discoveries in the Great Pyramid of Giza five years ago, and the ongoing scans are helping to better understand the function and architectural makeup of the 5,000-year-old structure.

samsung galaxy ring wearable will launch in eight sizes

The global launch of the Samsung Galaxy Ring is hotly anticipated, with details about the next-gen wearable gradually emerging since the company’s teaser announcement back in January. Now, a report has also unveiled the model numbers for the device, suggesting it will be available in eight different sizes.

While Samsung has yet to divulge detailed specs and features of the Galaxy Ring, it’s likely to feature an array of health and sleep monitoring functionalities, while boasting a battery life of up to nine days on a single charge.

As per a Galaxy Club report, there are currently eight confirmed variants of the Galaxy Ring: SM-Q500, SM-Q501, SM-Q502, SM-Q505, SM-Q506, SM-Q507, SM-Q508, and SM-Q509.

However, the mystery shrouding two absent model numbers persists, leaving speculation as to whether they signify additional sizes or if Samsung plans to unveil a later ninth variant of the ring, as previously hinted. There’s conjecture that these models may correspond to US ring sizes 5 and above, commencing with the SMQ500, with subsequent numbers potentially indicating larger ring sizes, possibly reaching up to size 13, aligning with model number SM-Q509.

Recent Korean reports have shed light on how Samsung’s Mobile eXperience division (MX) collaborated with the Home Appliance department to integrate Samsung Food with the Galaxy Ring: Tailored for daily activity tracking, the Galaxy Ring, when paired with Samsung Food and an intelligent Samsung refrigerator featuring AI vision, delivers personalized dietary guidance based on calorie intake and BMI.

Samsung is banking on the user-friendly interface and high durability of the ring to redefine the healthcare wearables landscape. Meanwhile, Apple is also making strides in the development of a smart ring, aimed at monitoring users’ health biometrics discreetly when worn on the finger. According to the Electronic Times report, Apple has been closely monitoring market interest in this more inconspicuous alternative to a traditional watch.
