Each year, the ECS Canada Section recognizes a deserving PhD student from a Canadian university for academic achievements in our multi-disciplinary fields though the Canada Section Student Award.  The award was established in 1987 to recognize promising young engineers and scientists and to promote careers in electrochemistry and solid state science and technology. Recipients receive a USD $1,500 prize. (more…)

In a recent ECS Sensors Plus publication, researchers spotlight a cutting-edge advancement in non-enzymatic glucose sensing using vanadium MXene-modified disposable screen-printed electrodes. The study, “Vanadium MXene Modified Disposable Screen-Printed Electrodes for Highly Sensitive Glucose Sensing,” explores the development of a highly sensitive, cost-effective, and reproducible sensor platform capable of rapid glucose detection.

Leveraging the unique electrochemical properties of vanadium-based MXenes, the authors demonstrate a low detection limit, wide linear range, and excellent selectivity—key parameters that make the device promising for real-world clinical and wearable biosensing applications. This innovation supports the growing demand for accessible and accurate glucose monitoring technologies, particularly in the management of diabetes. (more…)
