MIT spinout Quaise Energy wants to repurpose coal and gas plants into deep geothermal wells by using PSFC Research Engineer Paul Woskov's gyrotron drilling technology to melt rock.
Graduate student Evan Leppink will explore a new way to drive current in a tokamak plasma using radiofrequency (RF) waves during his residency at DIII-D in San Diego, CA.
PSFC research scientist Theresa Wilks participated in research at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility that demonstrated how, in a fusion tokamak, a high-performance operating regime called Super H-mode can leverage the use of impurities to improve core-edge integration.
