Topic: Physics

Local number: SIA Acc. 90-105 [SIA2010-1507]

Summary: In 1963, Chien-Shiung Wu (1912-1997), professor of physics at Columbia University, was already considered one of the world's foremost experimental physicists. Her experiments, with the aid of associates Y.K. Lee and L.W. Mo, confirmed the theory of sub-atomic behavior known as "weak interaction
