The 20th International Symposium on Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC-XX) is now accepting abstract submissions for oral and poster presentations. The symposium takes place July 11–16, 2027, at the Plaza Heisei in Tokyo, Japan.

SOFC-XX, a leading international conference on high-temperature solid oxide electrochemical energy conversion, invites scientists, engineers, and researchers from academia, industry, and government laboratories to share their latest advances in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) science, technology, and commercialization.

The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a focus issue in connection with the Advances in Organic and Biological Electrochemistry and Division Manuel M. Baizer Award symposium held at the  249th ECS Meeting in Seattle, WA, from May 24–28, 2026. 

Manuel M. Baizer was a pioneer and visionary whose influence and insights into electrochemistry continue to permeate scientific thought. The foremost internationally recognized authority on organic electrosynthesis, Baizer’s research led to the successful industrial process of the production of adiponitrile by the electrolytic reductive coupling of acrylonitrile. Winners of the award have made outstanding achievements in the electrochemistry of organic and organometallic compounds, biological and bio-inspired systems, carbon-based polymers and biomass, and more.

The ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology is publishing a collection of papers on ultra-large-scale integrated circuits vs thin-film transistors reflecting ECS biannual meetings symposia from 2007 to 2027.

Since the end of the 20th century, the two largest sectors of the microelectronics industry have been integrated circuits (ICs) and active-matrix flat-panel displays (AMFPDs). Their success has been driven by advances in semiconductor technology, including an improved understanding of field-effect transistor devices; the development of high-quality semiconductor, dielectric, and conductive materials; and the precise control of large-area, high-throughput fabrication processes. These industries also face many similar challenges, such as continuously improving device performance and reliability, introducing new materials, relentlessly reducing production costs, and expanding into novel applications.
