On July 26, the 2025 “Hefei Science Night” lit up Science Island with a dynamic celebration of science, culture, and creativity. Held under the theme “Exploring the Laws of Nature, Tracing the Roots of Science,” the event offered hands-on activities, public lectures, tech demos, and artistic performances.
Researchers gave a popular science talk on space exploration, while outdoor events like drone races, robot battles, and AI dog shows drew large crowds. In the evening, the Gravity Theater hosted a science stand-up comedy and a live experiment show that mixed fun with learning.
A new science salon, Science Talks, featured a lecture on the science of tea, blending traditional culture with modern research. The night concluded with a lantern fair and a science-art concert, where traditional fish lanterns and digital artworks lit up the island.
The event created a platform for citizens—especially youth—to engage with science and experience its charm in a festive atmosphere.
