Chen Ning Yang, Chinese-born American theoretical physicist who, with Tsung-Dao Lee, won the 1957 Nobel Prize for Physics for various studies in particle physics. Notably, the two men conducted research showing that parity is violated when certain elementary particles decay.
At the age of 98, Yang Chen Ning has returned to the starting point of his life journey, completing a voyage of almost a century in what seems like the blink of an eye. In his poem Thoughts in...
Jan 15, 2024 · Lee and Yang were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957 for their work on parity violation; Wu received no such recognition.
Jan 30, 2007 · Chen Ning Yang first came to CERN in 1957, the year he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Tsung-Dao Lee for their proposal that the weak interaction violates parity symmetry – at a fundamental level, the mirror symmetry between left and right is broken.
Aug 7, 2019 · Chen-Ning Yang is the most distinguished Chinese theoretical physicist. In 1954, together with Robert Mills, he formulated the Yang–Mills Gauge Theory, which led to the development of the Standard Model, the leading framework for understanding particle physics.
