Plenary Session III
08:30 Plenary talk: The Next Generation of Metasurface Antennas
Stefano Maci
University of Siena (Italy)
Today we are facing a transition to the third generation of MTS antennas, where MTSs change boundary conditions in space and time, opening new perspectives in 5G communications and beyond. In this presentation, the evolution of MTS antennas is described, with new ideas and examples on future communication scenarios.

09:05 Plenary talk: Metamaterials, anapoles and flying donuts
Nikitas Papsimakis, Yijie Shen, Nikolay I. Zheludev
University of Southampton (United Kingdom)
In this talk we overview recent progress in toroidal electrodynamics including discoveries of toroidal moments, anapoles and the generation and detection of toroidal pulses. We will report on the unique supertoroidal pulses, propagating skyrmionic formations of electromagnetic fields that can be non-diffracting and exhibit superoscillatory behaviour.
