News and insights from Vietnam
Earth’s inner-inner core or Earth’s immaculate shine is natural phenomena that scientists have studied for decades. Here are scientific research to bring useful information about the Earth and methods to reduce CO2 to help protect the Earth.
“What are you doing here?”
Mirella Abboud laughs as she recalls the facial expressions, which spoke volumes, of her peers — all of them male — during her 2011 internship at Beirut’s Scuderia Lebanon, a Ferrari dealership. Even a dozen years ago, it was somewhat shocking to see the grease-smudged face of a young woman emerge from beneath the hydraulic lift after working on a sleek 458 Italia.
GE Research is where the technology dreams of today shape the visionary solutions of tomorrow. A place where inventors invent and influencers influence. It’s an institution that welcomes the young and the hungry much like it does the seasoned and accomplished.
Power-grid management in the old days was a simpler affair. Big generators pumped out electricity, and operators kept surpluses in reserve, meeting somewhat predictable demand fluctuations. Today’s grid is a radical contrast, a kind of free-for-all as new and more renewable electrons come on board — from the intermittent flows of big wind and solar, to millions of homeowners with solar on the roof, a battery in the basement, and an EV in the driveway. Because of this, electricity is no longer flowing in one direction only.
A few years ago, Meg Chapman attended a training program for GE senior leaders on how to implement the management philosophy known as lean. Larry Culp, who had recently joined GE as chairman and CEO, had placed lean — the idea of cutting waste and working more efficiently — at the heart of GE’s turnaround. It has since been implemented at a wide variety of manufacturing plants, where it’s streamlined production processes, improved safety, and resulted in millions of dollars in savings.
Last February, GE hosted a webinar titled “Aeroderivative Technology for Vietnam: Staying Competitive with Fast, Flexible, Reliable Power”. The webinar provided valuable insights on how aeroderivative gas turbines can be used to address Vietnam’s energy challenges in various areas and featured several GE Gas Power experts.
It’s hard to get bored when your day job involves climbing into a seat on the upper deck of a Boeing 747 and cruising over the Sierra Nevada mountain range on a regular basis. For Nate Kamps, principal engineer and test director for GE Aerospace’s Flight Test Operations team in Victorville, California, the work — and the view — never gets old.
Với Nate Kamps - kỹ sư chính kiêm Giám đốc của nhóm Hoạt động Thử nghiệm Chuyến bay của GE Aerospace ở Victorville, California, công việc của anh ấy không bao giờ nhàm chán. Sẽ khó có thể cảm thấy buồn khi công việc hàng ngày của bạn là ngồi ở boong trên của chiếc Boeing 747 và thường xuyên bay qua dãy núi Sierra Nevada.
Mỗi lần bay là một lần hạnh phúc

In response to World Water Day (March 22), there are effectively innovative technologies for protecting the world’s water resources in particular and the environment in general, including a new method for removing the greenhouse gas from the ocean, a technology to use ammonia as a fuel, a project for wireless charging of electric vehicles and a succulent plant to create a living “bio-solar cell”.
