<span>The Rodney Hill Prize for 2012 is awarded to Professor <strong>Huajian Gao</strong> of Brown University, USA.<span> </span></span>
</p>
<p>
<span>This prize, which consists of a plaque and a check for $25,000 (twenty-five thousand US Dollars), is to be awarded in recognition of outstanding research in the field of solid mechanics. The prize is to be awarded every 4 years, to coincide with the quadrennial International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ICTAM). The first prize was awarded at ICTAM 2008 in Adelaide.</span>
</p>
<p>
<span>Professor Gao receives the prize for his deep and broad scientific achievements in basic solid mechanics and its bridge to other fields, which has re-defined the modern frontiers of mechanics research. His work includes fundamental theory as well as applications to materials science, nanotechnology, and bioengineering. His highly cited publications appear not only in the major solid mechanics journals but also in many high-profile, cross-disciplinary journals.</span>

<em>Science</em> <strong>320</strong>, 507 (2008)<br />
Stretchable and Foldable Silicon Integrated Circuits<br />
Dae-Hyeong Kim, Jong-Hyun Ahn, Won Mook Choi, Hoon-Sik Kim, Jizhou Song, Yonggang Huang, Zhuangjian Liu, Chun Lu, and John A. Rogers
</p>
<p>
Prof. John Rogers' group at UIUC, Prof. Yonggang Huang's group at NWU and IHPC in Singapore just published a paper in <em><strong>Science</strong></em> on stretchable circuits. In the paper, we have developed a simple approach to high-performance, stretchable, and foldable integrated circuits. The systems integrate inorganic electronic materials, including aligned arrays of nanoribbons of single crystalline silicon, with ultrathin plastic and elastomeric substrates.
</p>
<p>
The designs combine multilayer neutral mechanical plane layouts and "wavy" structural configurations in silicon complementary logic gates, ring oscillators, and differential amplifiers. We performed three-dimensional analytical and computational modeling of the mechanics and the electronic behaviors of these integrated circuits. Collectively, the results represent routes to devices, such as personal health monitors and other biomedical devices, that require extreme mechanical deformations during installation/use and electronic properties approaching those of conventional systems built on brittle semiconductor wafers.
