中新网北京10月15日电 (记者 孙自法)中国科技馆10月15日举办“银龄益智坊·时光邮局”科普体验空间媒体专场称,该敬老活动以“科学同行·为老亦青”为主题,将在中国科技馆持续开放至10月31日。
时值2026年全国敬老月期间,中国科技馆将“老伙计有话说”电子展板和“食在三餐”互动桌游套材包,免费共享给全国50余座科技馆,结合各地实际同步开展科普体验活动,推动适老化科普资源跨区域联动。
这是中国科技馆落实《全民科学素质行动规划纲要(2021—2035年)》中“老年人科学素质提升行动”的具体举措,也是该馆探索无障碍理念在科普服务领域的具体实践,从物理无障碍迈向服务无障碍、分众化科普的一次尝试。
该体验空间以“时光邮局—写给银龄的信—四座时光驿站”为叙事框架,观众在时光邮局领取寄信卡,经身份变换点换位体验,穿越百年、典籍、创想、新知四座驿站集章互动,最终回到邮局投递回信、兑换成果。
项目团队认为,物理适老只是让长者“进得来”,服务适老才能让长者“留得下”。
活动三种参与模式对应不同停留时间和参与深度:轻松游览模式,低门槛、无任务、随到随看;印章打卡模式,6个固定盖章点记录“我到过哪里”;任务集邮模式,以时光邮票记录“我完成了什么”,凭邮票数量兑换文创奖品,让老人通过“挣邮票—花邮票”重获目标感与价值感。
四座驿站分别聚焦健康老龄化、老有所乐、老有所为、老有所学。百年驿站以人生百年长卷和“老伙计有话说”互动装置,帮助长者从容面对变老;典籍驿站将典籍故事转化为互动展品,让老年人在文化共鸣中老有所乐;创想驿站设置科学创想展品,让老年人在动手创造中老有所为;新知驿站推出科普课程与科技展项,增强长者面对新技术的信心。
身份变换点配置5套专业穿戴设备,模拟老年视听、行动、触感,让年轻观众换位体验老年状态,促进代际理解。
中国科技馆介绍,“银龄益智坊”项目自2025年重阳节启动以来,坚持“先走进老人身边,再设计展教资源”,已形成20件核心互动展品、3套标准化执行方案,并研发移动银龄科普空间。
银龄益智坊项目不是一次性的敬老月活动,中国科技馆后续将走进社区、老年大学、养老机构,把服务送到长者身边。同时,持续研制适老化展教资源,根据各地反馈迭代升级。未来,中国科技馆还将开放成熟方案,探索跨域联动和可持续运营。

Stem cell biologist Wu has joined a new institution as a chair professor of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, despite receiving a tenured professorship offer from his former employer, UT Southwestern Medical Centre.

The 7th Taiwan Science Festival was held from November 7th to 15th. Five major museums and institutes of the Ministry of Education joined hands with 34 science popularization bases to launch more than 2,000 science popularization activities across Taiwan. This year's theme is "Science Sharing, Sustainability Starts", and there is an event to collect stamps and exchange them for gifts to encourage parents and children to participate in science learning together.
The 2026 East Lake Forum opened in Wuhan with the theme of "Building New Heights and Strengthening Strategic Pivot". The meeting released the "Wuhan Science and Technology Innovation Index Report (2026)", which emphasized Wuhan's remarkable achievements in scientific and technological innovation capabilities, the growth of high-tech enterprises, and the optoelectronics and automobile industries.

Researchers identified ringlike disturbance patterns termed 'seismo-ripples' triggered before earthquakes, challenging the belief that seismic events are unpredictable.
A team from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered the oldest known amber fossils so far in the Middle Devonian coal seams of the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang, which is about 385 million years old, 65 million years earlier than the previous record. Research suggests that the ability to synthesize complex resins may have existed in primitive vascular plants long before the emergence of seed plants, and that the resins may have originally been used for protection against wildfires and fungi rather than insect defense. The team extracted tiny amber particles through ultraviolet fluorescence scanning and microscopy manual sample selection, and confirmed their chemical characteristics using infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Wang Min's team from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with the Fujian Academy of Geological Sciences, discovered fossils of Yang Yuan, a new species of bird from the late Jurassic period in the Zhenghe Fauna of Fujian, weighing about 821 grams. This confirmed that the early stages of bird evolution had led to ecological specialization of being ground-dwelling and flightless, breaking the hypothesis of one-way evolution of flight and revealing an explosion of ecological diversity at the origin of birds.
