In this study, based on the concept of green synthesis, three cerium dioxide (CeO2)–calcium oxide (CaO) composites (CS–CeO2@CaO, CT–CeO2@CaO, and CTD–CeO2@CaO) were developed using chemical hydrothermal (CS), chrysanthemum tea impregnation (CT), and residue impregnation (CTD). Eggshell‐derived calcium oxide was used as the carrier, in combination with the functional components of chrysanthemum tea and its residue extract. The antibacterial efficacy of these materials against Escherichia coli exceeded 90% at a concentration of 50 µg/mL, and their bactericidal performance in water remained stable after six treatment cycles. Structural characterization experiments revealed that CT and CTD composites exhibited larger specific surface areas and hierarchical pores, which enhanced bacterial adsorption via π–π* interactions. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicated that Ca2+ released from the eggshell‐derived CaO caused ionic interference, while Ce3+/Ce4+ redox pairs generated reactive oxygen species, together establishing a synergistic adsorption–ion–oxidation antimicrobial mechanism. Additionally, the composites exhibited dual water treatment functions: an 80% degradation of methylene blue within 40 min and efficient biofilm removal. By valorizing waste resources (eggshells and tea residues), this work offers a sustainable approach to develop cost‐effective multifunctional materials for addressing drug‐resistant bacterial infections and remediating dye‐contaminated wastewater.","PeriodicalId":8250,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences","volume":"122 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145003012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we propose that the eukaryotic genome and its adaptable three‐dimensional packing in the form of chromatin offer a valuable template for the system architecture of DNA‐based digital computers. We examine embryonic and stem cells, which exhibit distinct chromatin‐associated condensates enriched in transcription machinery. These dynamic biomolecular condensates facilitate the spatial association of genes, genomic control elements, and molecular machinery responsible for reading the genomic code. Drawing a compelling analogy to the von Neumann computer architecture—which integrates storage, processing, and memory in most electronic computers—we reflect on how the operational principles of these condensates could inspire the design of a similar architecture for future DNA computers. In particular, we describe how one could recreate such an architecture by exploiting the process of surface condensation, which underlies the formation of chromatin‐associated condensates. We conclude by reviewing our initial steps of constructing synthetic DNA nanostructures that follow the same operational principles and enable programmable surface condensation. Finally, we outline how computational methods from accelerated materials design could further advance the development of DNA computer system architectures.","PeriodicalId":8250,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145003013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper addresses the ethics of whether governments should moralize health. It first introduces a definition of moralizing health. It then distinguishes between different ways of moralizing health that affect its moral acceptability, including negative or positive framing, as well as different potential targets toward which moralizing may be directed: (1) persons, (2) behavior, or (3) society. It concludes that targeting individual persons and behavior, especially negatively, is morally unacceptable. Positive moralizing about a healthy society by governments may be more acceptable, but important conditions remain. Governments should not single out individuals or groups and moralizing should not be excessive. Moralized health outcomes should be equally achievable by all citizens and implementation of moral frames should be grounded in robust evidence that it will bring about desired outcomes (i.e., a healthier society) without being harmful or counterproductive. In short, governments should be very cautious about moralizing health. If one of the basic tasks of governments is to protect collective health, this is all too easily undermined by undue moralizing.</p>","PeriodicalId":8250,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144991479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individuals may, therefore, attend to specific facial features. In humans, it has consistently been shown that secondary sexual traits and attractive faces capture and hold attention. By contrast, evidence for such biases in nonhuman primates, especially great apes, remains scarce. To address this gap, we conducted two eye‐tracking experiments with four zoo‐housed Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus), a species characterized by extreme sexual dimorphism. In both experiments, we found that orangutans exhibited an attentional bias toward fully flanged males, a sexually dimorphic trait of some adult males. They not only looked longer at flanged males but were also more likely to immediately fixate on them. This suggests that great ape cognition has been shaped by sexual selection in a similar fashion to humans, where attentional biases toward masculine and attractive faces are well‐documented. At the same time, we cannot rule out the possibility that individuals attended more to flanged males due to their potential threat to both sexes. Nevertheless, by demonstrating attentional attunement to a secondary sexual trait, our findings contribute to the growing understanding of how sexually selected features influence cognition in nonhuman primates.","PeriodicalId":8250,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144928369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Laser cladding (LC) has emerged as a sustainable repair technology due to its strong metallurgical bonding and flexible processing. However, rapid thermal cycles during LC can introduce defects such as pores, cracks, and inclusions that impair fatigue performance. Ni60A alloy is widely used in LC for its excellent processability, and reinforcement with tungsten carbide (WC) enhances wear and fatigue resistance through interfacial bonding, dislocation hindrance, and the formation of hard phases. Despite advances, high‐cycle fatigue (HCF) behavior and fracture mechanisms in LC‐repaired components remain underexplored—particularly the role of WC particle size, distribution, and interaction with dislocations. This study examines tensile and HCF properties of Ni60A/25%WC laser‐clad coatings at room temperature. S–N curves were generated and fracture surfaces analyzed to understand fatigue crack initiation and propagation. Energy‐dispersive spectroscopy was used to investigate the influence of WC/W2C on microstructure and mechanical performance. Our findings highlight how WC particle morphology and distribution affect fatigue resistance, providing insight into fatigue failure mechanisms and establishing a foundation for improved LC repair strategies of critical components in high‐performance systems.","PeriodicalId":8250,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144905688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of precursor selection on CO2 adsorption performance were systematically compared. CaO‐1 exhibited superior initial CO2 adsorption capacity (0.63 g/g) due to hierarchical porosity, but suffered a 38% capacity loss after 10 cycles from sintering. Al2O3 doping (CaO–Al2O3, 95/5) enhanced capacity and kinetics (0.65 g/g and 0.23 g/g·min−1, respectively), showing 3% and 43.75% improvements over CaO‐1, respectively, though a degradation of 33.8% occurred after 20 cycles. MgO doping (CaO–MgO, 85/15) achieved exceptional cyclic stability, retaining 93% capacity over 10 cycles (55% improvement vs. CaO‐1) via inherent sintering resistance. Characterization experiments confirmed their structural evolution: Al2O3 stabilized pore networks, while MgO preserved framework integrity. The results demonstrate that precursor engineering and dopant selection critically influence adsorption kinetics versus cyclic stability trade‐offs. Optimal CaO–Al2O3 (95/5) and CaO–MgO (85/15) compositions propose a kinetics–stability decoupling strategy. This dual‐dopant approach addresses calcium looping challenges by balancing rapid CO2 capture with structural durability, providing insights for cost‐effective adsorbent optimization.","PeriodicalId":8250,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144910649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We performed bidirectional Mendelian randomization (Bi‐MR) to assess causal relationships between 91 circulating inflammatory protein genes and aging traits, including telomere length, epigenetic clocks, frailty, cognitive function, and health span. Causal estimates were derived using inverse‐variance weighted, with MR‐Egger, weighted median, Bayesian weighted Mendelian randomization, and robust adjusted profile score (MR‐RAPS) for sensitivity analysis. MRlap assessed sample overlap, and MR‐PRESSO detected pleiotropy. Transcriptomic validation was performed using GTEx and GSE236927 datasets with CIBERSORT adjustment, followed by weighted gene coexpression network analysis and independent validation in GSE123697 and GSE237029. Twelve inflammatory factor genes showed significant forward associations, and 10 showed reverse associations after false discovery rate correction. Notable forward links included CASP8 with health span and IL1A and CXCL10 with telomere length. Reverse MR identified telomere length as a causal driver of IL10 mRNA levels. Transcriptomic analysis confirmed IL10 as a differentially expressed, aging‐related inflammatory gene. This study provides genetic and transcriptomic evidence supporting bidirectional causal links between inflammation and aging.
