在杭州城西科创大走廊一座形似未来飞船的建筑内，国家重大科技基础设施——超重力离心模拟与实验 装置（CHIEF）建设迎来关键节点。 超重力，听起来虽显专业，但生活中无处不在。乘坐过山车时面部的拉扯感、飞机爬升时的压迫感、汽 车瞬间启动的"推背感"……这些都是我们熟悉的超重力体验。而CHIEF所要创造的，是百倍、千倍于地 球重力的极端环境。 "其核心在于改变力场强度。"CHIEF总工程师、浙江大学求是特聘教授凌道盛解释，"通过超重力带来 的缩尺、缩时和能量强化三大效应，我们得以在实验室里重现自然界中漫长、宏大乃至极端的过程。" 乘坐电梯深入地下，步入金属包裹的圆形实验大厅，CHIEF1300的钢铁身躯赫然展现。它舒展着6.4米 长的双臂，两端悬挂的8吨吊篮宛如"科学使命舱"。当它开始旋转，便能模拟出10g—300g（重力加速度 单位，1g≈9.80米/平方秒）的超重力环境，其综合性能指标达到1300g·t（重力加速度·吨），位居世界前 列。 "在吊篮中放置不同的实验舱，就相当于把高山大海、高楼大厦'搬进'实验室。"主机组组长、浙江大学 副教授汪玉冰生动地比喻道。这套系统使科学家能构建从原子尺度到千米尺度、从瞬间变 ...
