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.

The synthesis of new materials part is especially exciting. Usually in chemistry the influence of gravity is both low and constant. A big installation where you could run a synthesis in high gravity could yield different results from one running in regular gravity.

That is potentially a whole field that remains pretty much unexplored in science so far (afaik)
