It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched in 2012, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology, and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.

Accelerating Electrolyte Discovery for Sodium-Ion Battery Through Property-Based Frameworks and Artificial Intelligence

Submitted by zhan-sheng guo on
research

Sodium-ion batteries have emerged as low-cost and resource-abundant alternatives to lithium-ion systems; however, their practical deployment is fundamentally constrained by interfacial instability, dendrite growth, and mechanical degradation. Although extensive efforts have been devoted to electrolyte development, current research remains fragmented.
