More than a decade ago, Paul Woskov, a research engineer in MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, noticed something about microwaves that others had missed. Given enough power and focused just so, they can literally blast holes in basalt and granite. That idea is the basis for an MIT spinoff known as Quaise, which proposes to use microwaves to drill holes deep enough to access zones of super hot temperatures located up to 12,000 feet below the surface of the Earth.
