Yoichiro Nambu (南部 陽一郎, Nanbu Yōichirō, 18 January 1921 – 5 July 2015) was a Japanese-American physicist and professor at the University of Chicago.
Apr 30, 2024 · Yoichiro Nambu was a Japanese-born American physicist who was awarded, with Kobayashi Makoto and Maskawa Toshihide, the 2008 Nobel Prize for Physics. Nambu received half of the prize for his discovery of spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics, which explained why matter is much more.
Jul 5, 2015 · The Nobel Prize in Physics 2008 was divided, one half awarded to Yoichiro Nambu "for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics", the other half jointly to Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa "for the discovery of the origin of the broken symmetry which predicts the existence of at least three families ...

Nov 13, 2015 · Yoichiro Nambu passed away on 5 July 2015 in Osaka. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2008 “for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics”.
May 25, 2016 · Yoichiro Nambu was an unusual physicist. When he proposed an idea, a frequent natural reaction of the audience was “How did he think of that?” He had an associative mind with a remarkable mathematical taste and a special feeling for algebraic structures.
Yoichiro Nambu's long and distinguished career in physics has led to the concepts of broken symmetry and quark "color." He was also an early pioneer of string theory. Dr.Nambu received his B.S. in 1942 and D.Sc. in 1952, from the University of Tokyo.
