【瞧我们的前沿科技】 在浙江杭州城西科创大走廊腹地距地面15米的地下大厅内，一台粗长的旋臂缓缓启动，逐渐提速。末端 的实验舱内，300个g（常重力）的惊人加速度正让物质的运动以"一眼万年"的速度展开。伴随轰鸣声传 来，浙江省首个国家大科学装置——超重力离心模拟与实验装置（以下简称"CHIEF"）核心设备近日正 式启动。 由浙江大学牵头建设的CHIEF被《物理世界》杂志评价为"全世界能力最强的离心机"。如今率先开机运 行的CHIEF1300容量达到1300g·t（重力加速度·吨），刷新了全球纪录。 这一"超级机器"的诞生并不容易。超高速运转、更长的机械臂、更极端的工况，意味着没有现成经验可 循。为了保障设备安全运行，研发团队跨学科协作，从结构体系、真空密封、动态平衡到材料工艺均 需"破题"。"这台机器的每一次转动，都凝结着数百位科研人员的心血。"项目团队成员感慨道。浙江大 学多学科平台会聚了来自建筑工程、控制、软件、能源、材料等领域的科学家和工程师，他们用跨界智 慧为CHIEF的复杂系统提供了新的解法。 随着CHIEF核心设备的启用，18套自主研制的机载实验装置一并亮相。其中6台为国际首创，12台达到 国际领先 ...

Core Insights - The CHIEF facility, a major national scientific infrastructure, has launched its first centrifuge in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, which can simulate artificial gravity fields hundreds to thousands of times that of Earth's gravity [1][2] - This facility aims to support research in disaster prevention, resource development, underground space utilization, new material development, and geological processes [1] Group 1 - The CHIEF facility includes three main centrifuges: CHIEF1300, CHIEF1500, and CHIEF1900, along with 18 onboard devices across six experimental chambers [1][2] - CHIEF1300 has a capacity of 1300 g·t and is currently the largest centrifuge globally, achieving a maximum centrifugal acceleration of 300 g [2] - The facility is designed to simulate geological and environmental processes over extensive time scales, allowing for the study of phenomena that would typically take decades or centuries [2] Group 2 - The CHIEF project is led by Zhejiang University and aims to create an open and collaborative international research platform [2] - The facility is expected to enhance global scientific research and innovation by facilitating cooperation with top research teams worldwide [2] - The construction of CHIEF1500 and CHIEF1900 is ongoing, with completion expected by the end of 2025 [2]
