Physics World Big Science Briefing 2021
Science in China is booming so it should come as no surprise that the country is investing heavily in a variety of big science projects. In this Briefing the science writer Ling Xin profiles four facilities that are currently under construction in China. These include a hypergravity centre, which will use huge centrifuges to do a wide range of geosciences and engineering studies, and a high-intensity ion accelerator for creating and studying exotic nuclei. Also covered are a neutrino observatory that is being built deep underground and an X-ray free electron laser (XFEL), which is due to open in 2025.
