Chen Ning Yang Books

Chen Ning Yang, a distinguished theoretical physicist, revolutionized our understanding of fundamental physics with his collaborative research on parity. His work with Tsung-Dao Lee demonstrated that parity symmetry, previously assumed to be a universal law, is actually violated in the decay of certain elementary particles. This groundbreaking discovery challenged established assumptions and opened new avenues for exploring the subatomic world. Yang's contributions extend beyond parity violation, notably including his foundational work on Yang-Mills theory, a cornerstone of modern particle physics.
