⚡ Quaise Energy’s Groundbreaking Demo: Drilling with Pure Energy — A Revolution Rooted in MIT Posted by  Robert Buluma — November 2025 In the heart of Marble Falls, Texas, the earth trembled not from an explosion, but from innovation. Quaise Energy — a bold spinout from the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI ) — has just proven the impossible : drilling through granite using pure energy , not physical bits. This September, the company hosted the first of several live public demonstrations of its millimeter-wave drilling system — a technological leap that could redefine the future of geothermal energy. 🔥 The Birth of a Drilling Revolution Quaise’s CEO Carlos Araque calls it “the first drilling innovation in 100 years.” He believes this breakthrough can unlock clean, renewable geothermal power on a scale rivaling fossil fuels . And that’s not hyperbole. With early funding and research support from MITEI , Quaise is turning decades of plasma and fusion science into the key tha...

Unlocking Earth's Infinite Power: The Revolution of Millimeter Wave Drilling By: Robert Buluma In a groundbreaking test at the  Quaise  laboratory, scientists have taken a monumental step toward tapping into the boundless reservoir of clean energy that lies deep beneath the Earth's surface. This untapped potential, which could power our civilization for millions of years, is now within reach thanks to an innovative technology: millimeter wave drilling. The Hidden Treasure Below Deep geothermal energy holds the promise of providing clean, sustainable power 24/7. Unlike solar or wind, which are intermittent, geothermal energy is constant, driven by the Earth's internal heat. However, accessing this energy, buried deep within the tough, crystalline basement rock, has long been a challenge. Traditional drilling methods falter here, where high pressure and temperature wear down mechanical drill bits rapidly, making the process expensive and inefficient. Enter Millimeter Waves Mi...

 Unveiling the Future: Quaise Energy's Quest for Terawatt-Scale Geothermal Energy By:  Robert Buluma Image: Recent Core drilling set for ground works at Quaise In a world teetering on the brink of an energy revolution, one company is harnessing the power of the Earth itself to drive us towards a cleaner, brighter future. Quaise Energy, the brainchild of visionary minds and cutting-edge technology, has just secured a staggering $21 million in funding to propel its mission forward. But what exactly is Quaise Energy, and why should we all be paying attention? At its core, Quaise Energy is more than just a company; it's a beacon of hope in a landscape dominated by fossil fuels and climate concerns. By tapping into the virtually limitless potential of deep geothermal energy, Quaise is poised to revolutionize the way we power our world. But what sets deep geothermal energy apart from other renewable sources, you may ask? Well, for starters, deep geothermal power plants have the capa...
