The microgravity research， as a branch of the advanced sciences and a spe- cialized field of high technology， has been made in China since the late 1980's. The research group investigating microgravity fluid physics consisted of our col- leagues and the authors in the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences （CAS）， and we pay special attention to the floating zone convection as our first research priority. Now， the research group has expanded and is a part of the National Microgravity Laboratory of the CAS， and the research fields have been extended to include more subjects related to microgravity science. Howev- er， the floating zone convection is still an important topic that greatly holds our research interests.
