China has built a record-breaking hypergravity machine called CHIEF1900, a colossal centrifuge that can spin multi-tonne samples at unmatched intensities. The machine, developed by Shanghai Electric Nuclear Power Group and installed at Zhejiang University, will allow researchers to recreate catastrophic events such as dam failures and earthquakes in a laboratory setting. With a capacity of 1,900 g·tonne, CHIEF1900 surpasses its predecessor CHIEF1300, which held the world record. The Centrifugal Hypergravity and Interdisciplinary Experiment Facility (CHIEF) is part of China's effort to expand cutting-edge research infrastructure and promote international collaboration.
