Chien-Shiung Wu
Chien-Shiung Wu was a Chinese-American experimental physicist known for her significant contributions to the field of nuclear physics, particularly for her work on the Manhattan Project and her pioneering experiments in beta decay, which provided critical evidence for the violation of parity conservation in weak interactions.
Born on May 31, 1912 (113 years old)
