Description of the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

Chronicling the replacement of 100-year-old combustion automotive engine technology with advanced electric vehicles requires careful scientific and technical journalism that holds the reader’s hand when explaining the physics and chemistry behind these new propulsion systems. That’s precisely what Automotive News reporter Hannah Lutz does in her Nov. 14 report: EV battery companies debate semisolid vs. solid-state tech. Lutz explains how the automotive industry’s drive toward developing solid-state batteries for electric vehicles might be misplaced. Looking deep into batter chemistry, Lutz writes about how semisolid-state batteries offer nearly the same benefits as solid batteries but are closer to commercialization. Batteries and battery materials are among the hottest topics in the EV transition. Lutz shines a light on an important scientific issue.
