In the digital age, astronomical popular science writing faces new opportunities. Technological advancements provide richer content and more dynamic methods for public outreach. The growing societal emphasis on scientific literacy offers vast room for development. Additionally, the inherent characteristics of astronomy-as a field driven by curiosity, integrating interdisciplinary tools, and revealing the mysteries of the universe-present a unique opportunity for science communicators to help cultivate future innovators. Astronomical communicators must honor the legacy of Li Yuan by prioritizing audience needs, constantly exploring new approaches, and providing more engaging and enriching astronomical experiences. This will help lay a strong foundation for nurturing the next generation of creative talent.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology exerts profound influence on contemporary science fiction creation. It has not only become a significant thematic element in science fiction literature but is increasingly emerging as a creative tool and driving force for the sci-fi industry, pushing the genre toward diversification and greater sophistication. In the AI era, science fiction writing must re-establish its "narrative sovereignty" amidst the tension between global technological competition and cultural diversity. As AI tools become integrated into the creative process, the institutional frameworks governing literary production and consumption require corresponding updates to address challenges concerning copyright, ethics, and authorial subjectivity. Chinese science fiction should anchor itself in indigenous cultural traditions to construct technology-infused narratives that embody Eastern wisdom, thereby contributing a unique cultural perspective to the concept of a shared future for humanity.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping literary creation and writing instruction. This study proposes a practical framework for an AI-integrated science fiction creative writing course, centered on a "hierarchical technical architecture" and a "non-substitutive principle." By combining large language models with multimodal generative tools, this approach systematically addresses traditional pedagogical challenges like creative blocks and delayed feedback. Based on a course taught at Chongqing University, the course demonstrates how AI can support five key stages of the writing process: world-building, story outlining, scene description, draft revision, and short play adaptation. This method spans the entire process from text creation to visual expression, showcasing the potential and challenges of technology-empowered education. Additionally, the course incorporates targeted measures to address issues such as creative atrophy and ethical concerns that arise from over-reliance on AI.

"Scientific writing" emerged alongside scientific research, initially serving the communication needs of the scientific community. However, as science and technology increasingly influenced daily life and societal production, public demand for scientific knowledge and information grew, giving rise to popular science writing and science communication for a general audience. With evolving times and changes in the mass communication landscape, traditional popular science writing must transition into a more contemporary form: "creative science writing." The development of creative science writing as an academic discipline abroad has involved a gradual formation and evolution of its core concepts. Universities in Australia, the United States, and other regions have adopted diverse curricula and training models, each with distinct characteristics. This study of overseas approaches shows that their experiences in conceptual definition, training models, and interdisciplinary integration offer valuable insights for China. These insights can help advance the establishment and development of creative science writing as a discipline in China, thereby enhancing the country's soft power in science and technology.

As a pioneering children's science popularization journal in modern Chinese history, Children's World fostered a network of popular science contributors that drove science communication for children, demonstrating the deep interweaving of scientific knowledge, cultural ideals, and social forces. The network was anchored by its editors-in-chief, Zheng Zhenduo and Xu Yingchang, and supported by a diverse group of authors, all benefiting from the institutional backing of The Commercial Press and the Literary Research Association. This structure created a well-defined and closely interconnected community. United by the shared philosophies of "child-centered" education and "scientific national salvation," this network leveraged the intellectual circles of the Literary Research Association and integrated kinship, regional, and professional ties to achieve synergistic science communication. Rooted in the shared principles of "child-centered" education and "scientific salvation of the nation," the community leveraged the Literary Research Association's intellectual circles and synergized kinship, regional, and professional ties to achieve collaborative efficacy in science communication. Children's World revolutionized the forms of children's scientific enlightenment, providing a unique local example of how a literary network can drive science communication. The study also reveals that while the network's efficiency was built on traditional interpersonal trust, its fragility reflected the challenges of knowledge production during the Republican era, offering historical insights for constructing science communication ecosystems in the digital age.

Short science communication videos are an important part of online education for natural history museums. Using the 5W communication model, this paper analyzes the creation process of Nautilus Talk: Paleontology Restaurant series, published by Shanghai Natural History Museum on Bilibili, examining the five key elements-communicator, content, channel, audience, and effect-to identify factors that influence a video's success. This study offers insights for museum content creators on how to enhance their work's impact by building diverse creative teams, crafting high-quality content that meets audience needs, choosing platform-appropriate operational strategies, and fostering two-way communication that encourages deep audience engagement.

Science fiction film and television works connect society, science and technology and culture through their unique medium, reflecting a nation's filmmaking industry and its capacity for future-oriented imagination. In its screen adaptation, Liu Cixin's The Three-Body Problem faced significant challenges in cross-cultural communication and value translation. Both TV adaptations successfully navigated these issues through cross-media strategies, preserving the core philosophical themes while making adjustments for the global market to enhance their international appeal. The Tencent version prioritized the faithful recreation of the novel's philosophical depth and cultural origins, whereas the Netflix version achieved international reach with a global perspective and a fast-paced narrative, thereby expanding the cultural influence and commercial value of the The Three-Body Problem IP. The adaptation of The Three-Body Problem not only demonstrates the global potential of Chinese sci-fi but also offers key insights for cross-media adaptation and international communication.
