Lee has long been engaged in physics research and has made a series of landmark works in the fields of particle physics theory, atomic nucleus theory and statistical physics. In 1957, at the age of 30, Lee won the Nobel Prize in Physics with Yang Chen Ning for their work on the violation of the parity law in weak interactions, which Chien-Shiung Wu experimentally proved from 1956 to 1957, with her well-known Wu experiment.
