The World's Most Powerful Hypergravity Machine - China

An aerial drone photo taken on September 29, 2025 shows the Centrifugal Hypergravity and Interdisciplinary Experiment Facility (CHIEF) in Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province. China on Monday launched the world's largest centrifuge in terms of capacity, capable of generating 300 times Earth's gravity for a load up to 20 tonnes. The machine, coded CHIEF1300, is one of the core components of the Centrifugal Hypergravity and Interdisciplinary Experiment Facility (CHIEF) currently under construction in Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province. It can be harnessed for frontier research spanning deep-ocean and deep-Earth resources extraction, disaster mitigation and prevention, underground waste disposal, and the synthesis of new materials.

China: Nujiang River Rages in Yunnan, Torrents Sweep Through Area

This is the dangerous moment that the Nujiang River turned into a raging torrent, triggering a powerful flash flood after days of relentless rainfall. On May 31, 2025, in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, the video showed the Nujiang River surging with muddy, turbulent water. Fueled by continuous heavy rain and intensified by orographic lift, the river’s water level rose sharply, unleashing a devastating mountain flood. Water tore through the region with alarming force, visibly inundating the riverbanks and sweeping away debris in its path. According to preliminary data, rainfall across the Nujiang River basin exceeded historical averages by more than four times. Along the Dulong River in particular, rainfall over a three-day span surpassed 300 millimeters, with some areas experiencing over 100 millimeters of downpour in just a short period. The severe flooding damaged roads, farmland, and communication infrastructure, effectively cutting off transportation to several villages. The video ended with torrents of floodwater continuing to rush downstream, leaving behind a landscape of destruction.
