    Women of Quantum: Chien-Schiung Wu

    Chien-Shiung Wu, a pioneering Chinese-American physicist, made significant advancements in nuclear physics, particularly beta decay and parity violation. Her groundbreaking experiments contradicted long-held beliefs about symmetry in nature, reshaping physics. Despite her crucial contributions, she was overlooked by the Nobel Prize Committee, though her legacy inspires future scientists and challenges gender barriers.
