Whether it is early man’s first use of fire or the birth of the space shuttle, innovation has always been the major catalyst behind the success of mankind. Some of these breakthroughs brought about immediate change, while others humbly laid the groundwork for important developments down the road.

Using the same cutting edge technology from GE’s jet engines, GE continues to take the lead in energy efficiency with the recent launch of its latest gas turbine, the LM6000-PF+.

A Date With Science is here to guide you through the year of wonder ahead! Dive into a calendar that celebrates innovation, excitement and a tiny bit of geekery. It’s 2017, and this year we’re going to get empirical.
Get your year in order, with a calendar that celebrates the best in science and innovation.

Drones, Bots And Flying Cars: Inside Duke's Lab That Helps Humans Better Understand Machines

Mary Cummings Duke University

August 16, 2017

“When you’re flying a plane, you're not actually flying a plane,” Mary Cummings, professor at Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering, says. “A computer's flying the plane, and you're trying to tell the computer how to fly the plane.”

Cummings should know. A former Naval fighter pilot, she’s now director of Duke University’s Humans and Autonomy Lab. Below, she discusses her work, “human supervisory control,” applied to everything from drones to driverless cars.

A tough, new plastic could allow astronauts to 3D print satellites in space and launch them from the International Space Station, Australian researchers are developing a 3D-printable gel that can heal itself, and biomedical engineers created implantable liver “seeds” that sprouted into fully functional organs in mice. We can work with this material.
Ain’t That Tough Enough?

Deutsche Bahn Cargo trains crisscross Europe daily carrying everything from coal and steel to cars and cabinets. If a train gets stuck or needs to be taken offline, it can cause problems for the entire system. Now GE digital technology is making the trains smarter and reducing downtime.

A team in Canada resurrected an extinct pox virus, Harvard researchers encoded a “short movie” into living bacteria, and scientists in California found a way to regenerate a rat brain with electricity. This is what we call brain power!

A Zombie Pox Virus

“Transparent” mice allowed researchers in Japan to study how cancer travels through the body, their colleagues in Switzerland developed a smart bandage that monitors healing in chronic wounds, and a designer in London 3D-printed a robotic “third thumb.” That’s a big thumbs up to tech!

Transparent Mice Display Cancer’s Ways

Like any factory manager in today's competitive marketplace, Jeff Gordon knows how quickly even a small issue can have a big impact on efficiency. That's why it's essential for him to monitor and understand what's going on at his facility. With hundreds of factors to process, he couldn't clone himself. So GE decided to clone his machines.
Enter the digital twin.
