Recently, a lot of effort has been dedicated to developing next-generation optoelectronic devices based on two-dimensional materials, thanks to their unique optical properties that are significantly different from those of their bulk counterparts. In order to implement high-performance nanoscale optical devices, an in-depth study of how linear and nonlinear propagation occurs in two-dimensional materials is required. We focus here on the theory behind the propagation of electromagnetic waves in two-dimensional materials, as well as emerging applications in the fields of electronics, optics, and sensors that are summarized and discussed in the paper.

Novel Yagi-like antenna structures were investigated here to design a UHF-RFID wearable antenna. The textile antennas were designed to be integrated into a smart glove, together with a compact UHF-RFID reader. Parasitic elements, acting as either a reflector or directors, were included to focus the field out of the operator's hand, thereby limiting the radiation toward undesired directions. To predict and compare the performance of the proposed near-field antennas, the power-transfer efficiency was numerically computed as a function of the reader-tag distance.

The International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory (EMTS 2023) will be held from 22–26 May 2023 at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The third largest metropolitan area in Canada, Vancouver is known for its stunning natural beauty, cosmopolitan atmosphere, friendly people, and attractions like Stanley Park, English Bay, Granville Island, the North Shore mountains, and Whistler. Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is only 20 minutes by car from UBC.

Valery Zavorotny
Prof. Valerian Tatarskii is recognized in the field of radio science as one of the founders of the theory of wave propagation in random media. His outstanding seminal works made a global impact on studies of propagation and scattering of electromagnetic and acoustic waves in the atmosphere and the ocean. His papers and books remain a source of wisdom for scores of researchers in this field around the world. In this article, we pay special tribute to his exceptional career and contributions to science.

The basis of the income for URSI lies in the contributions by the URSI Member Committees, contributing in line with their "unit of contribution" and in line with their impact in Council. In addition to these contributions, and in order to be able to face new challenges, explore new possibilities or covering increased costs, efforts have been made to explore possible new resources from meetings through the establishment of yearly URSI Flagship meetings. These Flagship meetings constitute, in a three-year cycle, the URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (GASS), the Atlantic Radio Science Conference (AT-RASC) and the Asia-Pacific Radio Science Conference (AP-RASC). Besides the indications that this will be of a financial benefit in the future, this has also fulfilled one of the main objectives of URSI, namely serving our community. From a scientific point of view, these yearly Flagship have been a major success and encouraging from a financial point of view.
