FAQ About Chien-Shiung Wu
What is the Wu experiment?
The Wu experiment was a groundbreaking experiment conducted by Chien-Shiung Wu and her colleagues in 1956 that disproved the law of conservation of parity in weak nuclear interactions. The experiment demonstrated that parity is not conserved in beta decay, significantly impacting our understanding of physical laws and contributing to the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physics to Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen Ning Yang in 1957.
