High Energy: GE Research Veteran Jim Bray on the Promise of a Nuclear Fusion Future
There’s an old joke about nuclear fusion: It’s the energy source of the future — and always will be. When headlines blared last month that researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory had hit on a history-making fusion breakthrough, the future felt one giant step closer. To get a sense of just how much closer, we reached out to Jim Bray, who’s worked for GE Research for 48 years and is now a chief scientist in its electrical power group — and the company’s go-to expert on all things fusion (including that joke).

Sick and Tired: A New Study Is Using GE’s Experimental MRI to Examine How Poor Sleep Affects the Brain
It’s practically endemic in the modern world. The college student finishing a term paper as the sun comes up, the new parents feeding the baby at 3 a.m., the foreman on the graveyard shift — they’re all among the more than a third of adults in the U.S. who don’t get enough sleep. Long-term, sleep deprivation can have severe ramifications, beyond what can be remedied by a double espresso or a power nap.
- GE’s solution will use novel sensors and imaging techniques with an AI-driven Digital Twin of the fuel reprocessing facility utilizing Distributed Ledger/Blockchain technology to enable real-time tracking of used fuel materials inside the facility with added safeguards and data securitization.

Connecting The Dots: How GE Research’s Emma Renner Channels The Art Of Dominoes Into Systems Engineering
Fresh out of a master’s program at Cornell University, Emma Renner is working these days on wind turbine engineering at GE Research in Niskayuna, New York. But you can forgive her if her mind occasionally wanders off into a different topic: dominoes. Renner, 24, is part of a team that is competing in a new Fox show called “Domino Masters,” in which domino artists from around the country compete to create the most impressive topple in the time allowed. (For the uninitiated, “topple” is domino-speak for when they all fall down.)
- New state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) technology developed by GE scientists recognized with a prestigious Manufacturing Leadership Award (MLA) by the National Association of Manufacturers
- GE’s AI/ML tool uses a digital twin of the wind turbine logistics process to accurately predict and streamline logistics costs
- Application of AI/ML could enable a 10% reduction in logistics costs, which would represent a global cost savings to the wind industry of up to $2.6 billion annually by 2030 based on current industry growth projections
