> Enter Quaise, which “is developing technology to blast rock with microwaves to potentially drill the deepest holes on Earth.
ie. there's a new, untried at extremes, bore drilling technique.
The calculation of heat production from earths core isn't new here, and nor, sadly, is any demonstration of a bore hole at a 10 mile depth.
They do acknowledge the deepest convential borehole so far was 7.6 mile (at some considerable effort at no small expense).
