The Belgian theoretical particle physicists François Baron Englert is the 2013 Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics and is currently Professor emeritus at the Université libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium. He is also affiliated with the School of Physics and Astronomy of Tel Aviv University, Israel and the Institute for Quantum Studies at Chapman University, USA. Prof. Englert was awarded many notable awards, such as the J. J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics in 2010, the Wolf Prize in Physics in 2004 and the High Energy and Particle Prize of the European Physical Society in 1997. Peter W. Higgs and he were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 for "the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles."

Importance of lithium power sources is confirmed by the fact that on October 10, 2019, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2019 was awarded for the development of lithium-ion batteries. 10 years earlier, in 2010,physicists Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics "For groundbreaking experiments regarding the two dimensional material graphene". A synergistic effect of theory and practicality in the area of lithium batteries, and the theory and practicality in the field of graphene materials creates the unique possibility generate the innovative high-energy Li batteries based on the graphene materials.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 has been awarded to P.W. Higgs and F. Englert for the conception of a theoretical framework that contributes to the understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles. The mechanism (known as the Higgs mechanism) has been recently confirmed by the observation of the fundamental particle predicted (the so called Higgs boson) by the ATLAS and CMS experiments of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Geneva. Particle physicists all over the world, both theoreticians and experimentalists, have contributed to the result in the last thirty years, to say the least: in the present paper an account is given of this discovery, a milestone in the current understanding of the microcosm.

The standard model (SM) for high-energy physics describes fundamental interactions between subatomic particles down to a distance scale on the order of 10-18 m. Despite its widespread acceptance, SM operates with a large number of arbitrary parameters whose physical origin is presently unknown. Our work suggests that the generation structure of at least some SM parameters stems from the chaotic regime of renormalization group flow. Invoking the universal route to chaos in systems of nonlinear differential equations, we argue that the hierarchical pattern of parameters amounts to a series of scaling ratios depending on the Feigenbaum constant. Leading order predictions are shown to agree reasonably well with experimental data.

Most microelectronics devices and circuits operate faster, consume less power, execute more functions and cost less per circuit function when the feature-sizes internal to the devices and circuits are made smaller. This is part of the stimulus for the Very High-Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) program. There is also a need for smaller, more sensitive sensors in a wide range of disciplines that includes electrochemistry, neurophysiology and ultra-high pressure solid state research. There is often fundamental new science (and sometimes new technology) to be revealed (and used) when a basic parameter such as size is extended to new dimensions, as is evident at the two extremes of smallness and largeness, high energy particle physics and cosmology, respectively. However, there is also a very important intermediate domain of size that spans from the diameter of a small cluster of atoms up to near one micrometer which may also have just as profound effects on society as “big” physics.
