Quaise Energy is pioneering millimeter-wave drilling to access deep geothermal heat and provide clean, scalable energy ...

With its novel drilling technique, Quaise Energy aims to harness deep geothermal energy, providing a reliable, renewable ...

To tap into this natural power, engineers must devise a new strategy for drilling a dozen miles into Earth, deep into rock. An MIT spinoff company believes it has the answer: millimeter wave drilling.

"The scientific basis, technical feasibility, and economic potential of directed energy millimeter wave rock drilling at frequencies of 30 to 300 GHz are strong," wrote Ogilvy. "It avoids Rayleigh ...

In plain warehouses next to Hobby Airport, Houston-based startup Quaise Energy is testing technology to try to drill deeper into ... which beams millimeter waves to heat plasma in a fusion reactor.

If the U.S. could tap into just 2 percent of the geothermal power beneath Earth’s crust, it could supply more than 2,000 ...

is taking a third approach: digging deeper—and using more heat—than any company has before. To do so, it’s refashioning a millimeter-wave drilling technique from nuclear fusion experiments.
