Chen Ning Yang. The Nobel Prize in Physics 1957. Born: 22 September 1922, Hofei, Anhwei, China. Affiliation at the time of the award: Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ, USA. Prize motivation: “for their penetrating investigation of the so-called parity laws which has led to important discoveries regarding the elementary particles”
Professor Chen Ning Yang who together with TD Lee won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1957 for the discovery of non-conservation of parity in weak interaction, is also the author (with Robert Mills) of the modern non-Abelian gauge theory of 1954, which subsequently became the foundation of the standard model of elementary particle interactions.
