Innovation Inside Our DNA: GE Announces GE Research’s Evolution into Three New Advanced Research Centers
Research has been a big deal at GE since the first decade of its existence. In 1900, Thomas Edison’s new company created the General Electric Research Laboratory, devoted to original research that would help the company innovate and maintain its competitive edge. It was an idea led by GE’s chief engineer at the time, Charles P. Steinmetz, who argued that innovation worked best when great minds were brought together under one roof.
5 technologies that will change our world
Over the years, technology has revolutionized our world and daily lives. Here are 5 technologies that are expected to significantly change people's lives in the future.
GE Healthcare's vision for AI-backed radiology
AI is transforming the healthcare industry in a variety of ways. The Vietnamese Congress of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine 2022 which took place from August 19 to 20 has shed light on how AI heralds a new era of medical imaging. Within the framework of the congress, Vijay Subramaniam, general manager for Imaging in ASEAN, Korea, Australia & New Zealand at GE Healthcare shared the trends of AI applications in radiology and how GE’s technologies can contribute to transforming the healthcare sector in Vietnam.
The Genuine Particle: These Cyclotrons Generate Imaging Tracers On-site to Boost Precision Medicine
Every morning, a charter jet takes off from Helsinki, Finland, bound for Örebro, Sweden. Its cargo: radiotracers. These radioactive compounds are essential for molecular imaging scans, which reveal metabolic processes inside cells. Radiologist and nuclear medicine physician Håkan Geijer and his colleagues at Örebro University Hospital depend on positron emission tomography (PET) scans to diagnose disease — like cancer — and, perhaps most critically, identify the best course of treatment.
Difference Makers: A Labor Day Look at the Good Work Being Done Throughout GE
As Labor Day approaches, GE Reports highlights the contributions of some amazing people who work under the company’s many roofs. These members of the GE family are breaking new ground in their careers while also touching lives well beyond the confines of GE.
From Air to Land to Sea: This Modified Jet Engine Will Power a Cruise Ship Set to Sail Around the World
Fifteen months from now, a cruise ship is scheduled to depart from Miami and travel around the world not in 180 days, but in 274. The nine-month Ultimate World Cruise is billed as the longest world cruise in history, and it will take place aboard Royal Caribbean International’s 962-foot Serenade of the Seas, visiting all seven continents and hitting over 150 destinations in more than 60 countries. Deep inside the ship’s belly, powering it throughout its voyage, will be GE technology.
4 technologies breakthrough to the new era of medical healthcare
These years, medical healthcare is marking great breakthrough due to being top society concerns. Let’s see how these technologies bring the era of healthcare to the patients.
A Race to Provide Care: ER Doctor Provides Lifesaving Care to Brighton Marathon Runners in the Field
When an ambulance rushed a runner suffering from severe heatstroke and dehydration to a field hospital set up on the Brighton Marathon course in England, Professor Rob Galloway had all of the equipment he needed to start resuscitation.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel: Helping GE Business Aviation Customers Reduce Their Carbon Footprint
What do 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel and carbon offsets have in common? Now, they both relate to GE Aviation’s Passport engine, a long-range business aviation turbofan. At May’s European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, GE Aviation announced two major updates: the successful completion of the first 100% SAF test with the Passport engine, and a new carbon offset program for customers — including operators of the Passport engine — in collaboration with 4AIR.
High Five: GE, NASA Test Hybrid Electric System For Planes At High-Altitude Conditions For First Time
Electric cars have become common, but building a commercial electric plane is a different story. Just ask Mohamed Ali, vice president for engineering at GE Aerospace. “Electric motors behave very differently at altitudes above 10,000 feet,” he says. “They are susceptible to plasma arcing, for example, and much more difficult to manage.”
