ECS teamed up with Amazon to bring ECS members the Amazon Catalyst at ECS program. ECS members were able to interact with one of the world’s largest companies and potentially be awarded a grant to tackle a number of different challenges. Through the program, ECS and Amazon looked for solutions that make life easier, healthier, more sustainable, more enjoyable, or more satisfying. The Amazon Catalyst at ECS serves as a prime vehicle for change. Applicants did not need to be…

Register today! Topic Close-up #14 Symposium I03: Ionic and Mixed Conducting Ceramics 12 Symposium focus: The aim of this symposium is to provide a forum to share both experimental and theoretical studies of ionic conductors and mixed conducting materials, in the areas including fuel cells, batteries, sensors, membranes, electrochemical reactors, and electrosynthesis. The symposium will be sponsored by XTC New Energy Materials (Xiamen) LTD, and will feature the following invited speakers:

Dennis Corrigan’s connection to the ECS community came quite naturally. He had been an ECS member since the 1970s, and when he moved to Detroit to work at General Motors Research Laboratories in 1979, he was naturally inclined to become involved with the ECS Detroit Section. “We had a very large Electrochemistry Department at GM Research Labs of over 60 people and most were active members of the Detroit section. They didn’t have to twist my arm too much to…
