Chien-Shiung Wu (1912-1997) was a prominent Chinese-American experimental physicist who made significant contributions to the field of nuclear physics. She is best known for her work on the properties of beta decay and for conducting the Wu experiment in 1956, which provided crucial evidence for the theory of weak interaction and demonstrated that parity is not conserved in weak nuclear processes.
