Grafted Low‐Leakage Si/AlN p‐n Diodes Enabled by Fluorinated AlN Interface
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This work demonstrates a fluorination‐based interface engineering strategy that transforms oxygen‐terminated AlN surfaces into fluorine‐terminated interfaces for grafted p‐Si/n‐AlN diodes. By combining pseudo‐ALE oxide removal, XeF2 fluorination, and ultrathin SiNx stabilization, the engineered interface suppresses defect‐assisted reverse leakage by ...

Feed Your Bees: A Landscaping Guide for North Central Florida Backyard Beekeepers
EDISHoney bees collect nectar from flowers and must visit an estimated two million flowers to make one pound of honey. In 2023, beekeepers in Florida harvested an average of 35 pounds of honey from each of the state’s 210,000 honey-producing colonies.
