Swiss-based startup Borobotics has developed a new autonomous drilling machine to help make geothermal energy more accessible for domestic and commercial customers. Dubbed the ‘world’s most powerful ...

What if the key to unlocking a cleaner, more sustainable energy future was hidden just beneath our feet—but we lacked the tools to reach it? Despite geothermal energy’s immense potential to power ...

Four billion years ago, Earth was a fiery, tumultuous world of molten rock, volcanic eruptions, and toxic skies, with searing heat and the constant threat of asteroid impacts. Thankfully, our planet ...

MIT spin-off Quaise is trying to use hijacked fusion technology to drill some of the deepest holes in history, unlocking clean, virtually limitless, supercritical geothermal energy that can re-power ...

Quaise is taking its technology from the lab to field trials for the first time this year. A beam of energy hit the slab of rock, which quickly began to glow. Pieces cracked off, sparks ricocheted, ...

The U.S. oil and gas industry sparked an energy revolution a few decades ago by thinking in a different direction—literally. Horizontal drilling, combined with hydraulic fracturing, unlocked new ...

In the wooded hills south of Munich, Germany, engineers are drilling 8 km down in a bid to harvest limitless clean energy from Earth’s molten, radioactive core. The project could offer a blueprint for ...

Geothermal energy now stands out as a reliable, low-carbon solution in the transition to a balanced energy mix. While conventional geothermal systems rely on specific geological conditions, such as ...
