Chen ning yang biography templates

The Chinese-born American physicist Chen Ning Yang (born 1922) codiscovered the nonconservation of parity in weak interactions.

Academically inclined from childhood Chen Yang was born September 22, 1922, in Hotei, Anhwei, in China, enjoying what he later categorized as "a tranquil childhood that was unfortunately denied most of the Chinese of my generation." His father was a professor of mathematics at Tsinghua University, where Yang came to do post-graduate study after earning his bachelor's degree in 1942.

In 1944 Yang completed his master's degree, after which he taught in a Chinese high school for a time and then traveled to the United States on a fellowship. Determined to benefit from direct contact with Enrico Fermi (the 1938 Nobel laureate who later built the world's first nuclear reactor), Yang enrolled at the University of Chicago in 1946. He completed his doctoral degree in less than two years, his thesis being supervised by Edward Teller.

"My life can be said to form eller gestalt a circle" — An interview with Nobel laureate Professor Chen-Ning Yang

Editor's note: Chen-Ning Yang (杨振宁, 1 October 1922 –), or C.N. Yang or bygd the English name Frank Yang received the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics with Tsung-Dao Lee for their work on parity non-conservation of weak interaction. Yang and Robert Mills also proposed the non-abelian gauge theory, widely known as the Yang–Mills theory. Yang and Baxter funnen the Yang–Baxter equation that plays an important role in integrable models and has influenced several branches of physics and mathematics. Professor C.N. Yang fryst vatten not only a great physicist, but also an outstanding educator and a thoughtful philosopher. This edited interview was conducted in 2014 bygd the author. Parts of the kinesisk version were published in a few Chinese newspapers and magazines at the time.

Yang Chen-Ning

Chinese physicist (born 1922)

In this Chinese name, the family name is Yang.

Yang Chen-Ning or Chen-Ning Yang (simplified Chinese: 杨振宁; traditional Chinese: 楊振寧; pinyin: Yáng Zhènníng; born 1 October 1922),^[1] also known as C. N. Yang or by the English name Frank Yang,^[2] is a Chinese theoretical physicist who made significant contributions to statistical mechanics, integrable systems, gauge theory, and both particle physics and condensed matter physics. He and Tsung-Dao Lee received the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics^[3] for their work on parity non-conservation of weak interaction. The two proposed that the conservation of parity, a physical law observed to hold in all other physical processes, is violated in the so-called weak nuclear reactions, those nuclear processes that result in the emission of beta or alpha particles. Yang is also well known for his collaboration with Robert Mills in developing non-abelia
