In a paper detailing early experiments, the team – including Genrokuro Matsunaga, a 70-year-old swordsmith and Takeo Watanabe at Kanagawa Institute of Technology – explain how they have made several rock corers with various metallic compositions.

One such organization is the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program, which funded a planning meeting for the project in 2013. This group is now reviewing a request for a further $3.9 million and will announce its decision in June, said Ulrich Harms, head of the organization’s Operational Support Group in Pottsdam, Germany.
