A MIT Technology Review newsletter covering a fundamental flaw in LLMs that leaves them vulnerable to attack, and a story about how a failing geothermal plant in New Mexico was revived using advanced modeling and drilling.
Geothermal company Zanskar revived a failing New Mexico power plant by drilling deeper using AI, making it one of the most productive pumped geothermal wells in the US.
Shanay-Timpishka is a boiling river in the Peruvian Amazon that reaches 100°C despite being over 700 km from the nearest active volcano, defying standard geological explanations. Geothermal scientist Andrés Ruzo investigated the phenomenon in 2011, finding it to be one of Earth's strangest hydrothermal features.
This paper presents the geological and geophysical characterization of two exploration boreholes in the Rhenish Lignite Mining Area, Germany, as part of initial efforts to assess medium-deep and deep geothermal reservoirs as a renewable heat source to replace the Weisweiler coal power plant.
Quaise Energy successfully drilled 100 meters into granite using millimeter wave technology, a milestone toward accessing superhot geothermal energy for clean power generation.
