    “Great nation is a nation who\u27s always appreciates their own history,” that was a statement from Bung Karno. This paper is trying to lift a heritage district in Kota Tua Jakarta. A legacy that full of arts, cultures, stories, romance and tragedy that happened, and how the origin of the city formed. It\u27s very unfortunate if you see the condition right now. When all of the nations soo proud of their culture and history, everyone is competing to maintain and conserve their heritage and run the management very well. What happened with our heritage? Nowadays, Kota Tua district has been revitalized, but sadly, the process didn\u27t maintained well. So the results looks neglected and not in the good shape

    Laser Direct Writing of Visible Spin Defects in Hexagonal Boron Nitride for Applications in Spin-Based Technologies

    Optically addressable spins in two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) attract widespread attention for their potential advantage in on-chip quantum devices, such as quantum sensors and quantum network. A variety of spin defects have been found in hBN, but no convenient and deterministic generation methods have been reported for other defects except negatively charged boron vacancy (VBV_B^-). Here we report that by using femtosecond laser direct writing technology, we can deterministically create spin defect ensembles with spectra range from 550 nm to 800 nm on nanoscale hBN flakes. Positive single-peak optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) signals are detected in the presence of magnetic field perpendicular to the substrate, and the contrast can reach 0.8%. With the appropriate thickness of hBN flakes, substrate and femtosecond laser pulse energy, we can deterministically and efficiently generate bright spin defect array. Our results provide a convenient deterministic method to create spin defects in hBN, which will motivate more endeavors for future researches and applications of spin-based technologies such as quantum magnetometer array

    Understanding the structure of the plastic deformation region is important for improving the mechanical property of amorphous alloys. What kind of structure is conducive to the formation of deformation zone is however still unclear yet. The uniaxial compression of amorphous Cu64.5Zr35.5 has been conducted by a large-scale molecular dynamics simulation. The structure characteristics of the system, especially the deformation regions are systematically investigated based on the newly developed topologically close-packed cluster (TCP) method and the shear transformation zone theory. Results indicate that the deformation process is divided into three stages that can be reasonably explicated by the population and heredity of the 30 top largest standard clusters (LaSCs). It is also found that the response of topologically close-packed (TCP) atoms to strain is closely related with the bond number connected to icosahedra atoms, and the densely packed TCP atoms are more prone to non-affine displacement than the loosely packed ones, which act as the carrier of accommodating plastic deformation. In addition, the plastic deformation units are composed of various types of LaSCs, and the region with local translational symmetry is observed. These findings greatly improve the understanding of the relationship of microstructure and deformation of metallic glasses

    With the rapidly aging society and increased concern for personal cardiovascular health, novel, flexible electrodes suitable for electrocardiogram (ECG) signal monitoring are in demand. Based on the excellent electrical and mechanical properties of graphene and the rapid development of graphene device fabrication technologies, graphene-based ECG electrodes have recently attracted much attention, and many flexible graphene electrodes with excellent performance have been developed. To understand the current research progress of graphene-based ECG electrodes and help researchers clarify current development conditions and directions, we systematically review the recent advances in graphene-based flexible ECG electrodes. Graphene electrodes are classified as bionic, fabric-based, biodegradable, laser-induced/scribed, modified-graphene, sponge-like, invasive, etc., based on their design concept, structural characteristics, preparation methods, and material properties. Moreover, some categories are further divided into dry or wet electrodes. Then, their performance, including electrode–skin impedance, signal-to-noise ratio, skin compatibility, and stability, is analyzed. Finally, we discuss possible development directions of graphene ECG electrodes and share our views

    (±)-Uncarilins A and B (<b>1a</b>/<b>1b</b> and <b>2a</b>/<b>2b</b>), two pairs of unusual dimeric isoechinulin-type enantiomers with a symmetric four-membered core, were isolated from <i>Uncaria rhynchophylla</i> driven by LCMS-IT-TOF analyses. Their structures were elucidated by extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectra, X-ray diffraction, and ECD spectroscopic data. (−)-Uncarilin B (<b>2a</b>) showed activities on MT<sub>1</sub> and MT<sub>2</sub> receptors with agonistic rates of 11.26% and 52.44% at a concentration of 0.25 mM
