Chinese-American physicist Tsung-Dao Lee passed away in San Francisco on August 4, U.S. time at the age of 98, after failing to recover from his illness, according to the Paper.
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.
