In 1957, at the age of 30, Lee won the Nobel Prize in Physics with Chen Ning Yang [2] for their work on the violation of the parity law in weak interactions, which Chien-Shiung Wu experimentally proved from 1956 to 1957, with her well known Wu experiment. Lee remains the youngest Nobel laureate in the science fields after World War II.
The theory is named after the Nobel laureates Tsung-Dao Lee and Yang Chen-Ning, [7] [8] who were awarded the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics for their unrelated work on parity non-conservation in weak interaction.
Yang Chen-Ning or Chen-Ning Yang (simplified Chinese: 杨振宁; traditional Chinese: 楊振寧; pinyin: Yáng Zhènníng; born 1 October 1922), [1] also known as C. N. Yang or by the English name Frank Yang, [2] is a Chinese theoretical physicist who made significant contributions to statistical mechanics, integrable systems, gauge theory, and ...
Chinese-American physicist Tsung-Dao Lee, who in 1957 became the second-youngest scientist to receive a Nobel Prize, died Sunday at his home in San Francisco at age 97, according to a Chinese ...
Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang, the theoretical physicists who originated the idea of parity nonconservation and proposed the experiment, received the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics for this result. While not awarded the Nobel Prize, Chien-Shiung Wu 's role in the discovery was mentioned in the Nobel Prize acceptance speech of Yang and Lee, [ 2 ...
Lee and Yang were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957 for their theoretical work, [108] despite a "firm tradition" [109] [110] of the vast majority [111] of the previous and following prizes being awarded to experimentalists, not theorists. Wu's critical contribution providing the experimental confirmation proving the CP violation ...
An associated prize in Economics has been awarded since 1969. [1] Nobel Prizes have been awarded to over 800 individuals. [2] Asians have been the recipients of all six award categories: Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Peace, and Economics. The first Asian recipient, Rabindranath Tagore, was awarded the Literature Prize ...
1957: Chen-Ning Yang and Tsung-dao Lee won the Nobel Prize in Physics. They would later become US citizens in 1964 and 1962 respectively. [83] 1976: Samuel C. C. Ting becomes the first U.S. born Asian American to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.
