Tsung-Dao Lee (Nobel laureate)

Tsung-Dao Lee is a renowned Chinese-American physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957 for his groundbreaking work on the laws of particle physics, particularly the concept of parity violation. This idea demonstrated that certain physical processes do not behave the same when their spatial coordinates are inverted, challenging long-held assumptions about symmetry in nature. Lee's research has significantly advanced our understanding of fundamental particles and forces, contributing to the development of the Standard Model in physics, which describes how particles interact. His contributions have had a profound impact on theoretical and experimental physics.
