Guangdong

Device planned to view gravity waves

Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong province announced earlier this week that it will build a ground simulation system for space-based gravitational wave observation. The system is expected to provide a complete simulation environment and new research methods for China's research on space-based gravitational wave observation, the university said. It will be built on the university's campus in Shenzhen with an investment of more than 1 billion yuan ($147 million). The simulation system is part of the gravitational wave research project "Tianqin" launched in 2015.
