SUMMARY:Small Exhibition of Lunar Architecture Design
DESCRIPTION:The Small Exhibition of Lunar Architecture Design showcases innovative concepts and visionary designs for sustainable human habitats on the Moon. As space agencies and private companies plan for long-term lunar missions\, architects and engineers are reimagining how to create functional\, resilient\, and aesthetically inspiring structures in the harsh lunar environment. \nThis exhibition features scale models\, digital renderings\, and material prototypes of lunar bases\, research stations\, and even recreational spaces. Highlights include designs utilizing in-situ resource utilization (ISRU)\, 3D-printed regolith structures\, and modular inflatable habitats. The display also explores life-support systems\, radiation shielding\, and energy-efficient solutions tailored for the Moon’s low gravity and extreme temperatures. \nBy blending creativity with engineering\, the exhibition inspires new ideas for extraterrestrial living\, fostering collaboration between designers\, scientists\, and space explorers to shape humanity’s future beyond Earth.

SUMMARY:Adapting Lunar and Martian Soil for Plant Growth
DESCRIPTION:Transforming lunar and Martian soil for agriculture is essential for sustainable space exploration. Lunar regolith lacks organic matter and nitrogen\, while Martian soil contains toxic perchlorates. Key strategies include enriching soils with fertilizers\, removing toxins (e.g.\, washing perchlorates)\, and introducing microbes to enhance nutrient cycling. Hydroponics and genetic engineering may supplement traditional methods. Experiments with simulants show promise\, but challenges like low gravity\, radiation\, and soil structure remain. Overcoming these barriers could enable future colonies to grow crops\, reducing reliance on Earth. Research continues to optimize plant growth in extraterrestrial environments. To this end\, Sichuan University will organize in-person talks on this topic.
