Shanghai sci-tech museum welcomes 100 millionth visitor amid tech travel boom_我的网站

A | 北京时间1月14日消息，不久，宇航员将能够多吃新鲜蔬菜。继2015年国际空间站的莴苣之后，宇航员最早可以在2021年吃自己的豆子。

(Xinhua/Fang Zhe)The Shanghai Science and Technology Museum welcomed its 100 millionth visitor on Tuesday, as a growing number of travelers are looking to make science and technology a part of their holidays.
Zhang Zhiheng, a boy from east China's Shandong Province, was the landmark visitor. He visited the museum with his parents on the second day of his first trip to Shanghai.
Since opening its doors to the public in late 2001, the museum has grown into one of China's most popular science and education destinations. Through a wide range of science and technology activities and programs, it remains dedicated to boosting public scientific literacy and sparking curiosity in visitors of all ages.
After being closed for over two years for upgrading, the museum reopened early this year. It now also includes two branches: the Shanghai Natural History Museum and the Shanghai Astronomy Museum.
Back in 2001, the proportion of Chinese citizens with scientific literacy was only 1.4 percent, and the figure had risen to 16.74 percent by 2025, according to official data.
As public interest in science has grown, visits to science and technology museums have increasingly become part of everyday life.
For many families, museums have become a popular destination during holidays and weekends, offering children opportunities to expand their knowledge and broaden their horizons.
"The biggest change I feel during my museum visits is that science and technology keep advancing," said Zheng Qina, a post‑90s visitor from Shanghai. She was nine years old when she visited the museum in 2001. Today, her five‑year‑old son is also a regular visitor.
The trend is also extending to international travelers. With China's inbound tourism gaining momentum following eased visa policies, science museums have emerged as an increasingly popular destination for overseas visitors seeking a closer look at the country's technological development.
From January to July this year, the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum and its two branches received nearly 200,000 foreign visitors, accounting for nearly 5 percent of the total visitor numbers.
Francisco and his parents, a family from Italy, were among the visitors on Tuesday. After touring an exhibition on green energy, Francisco said he was deeply impressed by displays showcasing China's nuclear and hydrogen energy technologies.
In recent years, China has made major advances in fields ranging from artificial intelligence and humanoid robots to quantum science, green energy, space technology, life sciences and physical sciences. Science and technology museums offer visitors an opportunity to explore some of these developments through exhibitions and interactive experiences.
For Ni Minjing, director of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, a notable change among visitors is that they have shifted from passive recipients of knowledge to more active explorers of science.
"Teenagers in particular now have abundant channels to acquire knowledge. The role of science and technology museums can no longer be merely about resolving doubts," Ni said. "Instead, through diverse forms of science popularization, museums should inspire visitors, especially young people, to think and create."
"We will continue to innovate the way we popularize science, enrich science-related content, promote the spirit of scientists and foster a culture of innovation, so as to spark young people's curiosity, imagination and desire to explore," Ni added.

。将来，他们会吃更多种类的新鲜蔬菜。”挪威科技大学空间跨学科研究中心的植物生理学家Silje Wolff在一份声明中说：“每个宇航员的梦想都是吃新鲜的食物，比如草莓和樱桃。”这在将来肯定是可能的。我们设想在温室里可以种植几种蔬菜。沃尔夫最近完成了一项实验，其中莴苣生长在一个特殊的容器中，调节植物生长所需的水、营养、气体和空气。尽管沃尔夫使用熔岩中的人工土壤作为基质，但她说她的目标是让植物直接生长在含有维持生命所需营养物质的水中。她指出，在太空中，所有的水和食物都必须循环利用，这意味着植物的施肥必须“尽可能精确”。除了营养价值外，在太空站等“荒地”种植作物也能为宇航员提供生理上的舒适。沃尔夫说宇航员经常食欲不振，导致体重下降。”解决吃新鲜食物的心理问题是我们的目标之一。真空包装食品并不能真正让人们想到食物，”沃尔夫说。

B | 重要的是要有能激发食欲的新鲜食物和大脑中正确的受体。园艺也因其对认知能力和心理健康的帮助而闻名。

C | 长期隔离会在这两个领域造成问题。例如，美国宇航局宇航员斯科特·凯利在2015年在国际空间站工作了342天。在他的报告中，他提到了他面临的心理压力。”宇航员喜欢园艺和一切能让人想起地球上生活的东西，”沃尔夫说。他们照顾蔬菜，给它们浇水，看着它们一天天长大。

D | 挪威科技大学空间跨学科研究中心目前正与意大利和法国的研究人员合作，试图找出在长期太空飞行期间种植植物性食品的可行性。研究人员在一份声明中说，虽然一个典型的国际空间站任务要持续6个月，但是到火星的宇航员至少需要在太空中生活和工作一年，当然他们需要在这段时间内吃饭。”根据目前的航天飞行方式，几乎不可能从地球上携带所需的全部资源。

E | 这就是为什么我们必须开发生物系统，这样宇航员才能生产他们自己的食物和回收所有的资源，”沃尔夫说。

F | 然而，现在，沃尔夫和他的团队专注于简单的豆子，他们需要几个步骤来让宇航员为他们自己准备一顿丰盛的晚餐。目前已完成地面试验。

G | 挪威科技大学跨学科空间研究中心将把豆类种子放入离心机，在国际空间站上发芽生长。研究人员可以比较不同重力水平对空间植物的影响。在地球上，重力使热空气上升，冷空气下沉。在空间站上，空气相对静止，使宇航员感到他们正在发低烧。沃尔夫说植物也会受到影响。她说，“不流动的空气减少了植物叶片的蒸发，导致叶片温度升高。水蒸气扩散到环境中是植物调控的重要组成部分，与出汗对动物和人类的影响相当。挪威科技大学空间跨学科研究中心的研究工作可能对地球上食物的生长产生更大的影响，特别是在耕地稀少的城市。沃尔夫说，通过在封闭的室内系统中直接在水中种植作物，我们可以充分利用空间生产更多的粮食，在这些粮食中，气候、施肥和灌溉的各个方面都得到了调节。
