China Achieves Another First, with World's Largest Centrifuge

China Media Group reports, according to Global Times on Sept. 29, that: “China on Monday put into operation the core equipment of its super-gravity centrifuge simulation and experiment facility, including the world’s largest centrifuge, with a capacity of 1,300 g·t (gravity acceleration·tons)….”

Located in Hangzhou, East China’s Zhejiang Province, and led by Zhejiang University, the facility is a major national science and technology infrastructure project entirely developed domestically. It can generate a “super-gravity field” thousands of times stronger than Earth’s gravity, enabling what scientists call “space-time compression.”
