Gamry Instruments is excited to announce our 35th anniversary. From the beginning, our goal was to make the best possible measurement at the most affordable price. Our ground-breaking design made computer-controlled potentiostats more accessible than ever. Gamry was the first manufacturer to put a potentiostat inside a computer, the first potentiostat to run on Microsoft Windows, the first to add EIS to a potentiostat without an external FRA, and the first to give you fully customizable software. It has been an exciting journey and we wouldn’t be where we our today without the help of our users. We anticipate 2024 to be an exciting year for Gamry with several new innovations coming out. So, at 35 we are still Going Strong. Many thanks to all of you for helping make Gamry a success.

The ECS Honors and Awards Program and the ECS Battery Division proudly announce the creation of the new ECS Battery Division M. Stanley Whittingham Mid-Career Award recognizing mid-career achievement and contributions to the field of electrochemical energy storage.

When the pandemic caused the cancellation of a PRiME 2020 event honoring his winning the Nobel prize, Dr. Whittingham requested that donations to the event be used for an award. The Battery Division Early M. Stanley Whittingham Mid-Career Award is partially funded through these donations. (more…)
