Summary: In 1963,
Chien-Shiung Wu (1912-1997), professor of physics at Columbia University, was already considered one of the world's foremost experimental physicists. Her experiments, with the aid of associates Y.K. Lee and L.W. Mo, confirmed the theory of sub-atomic behavior known as "weak interaction

Acc 90-105, Box 26, Folder "Wright, Frank Lloyd- Wu, Kuo Cheng"; "Dr. Wu at work--Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu, professor of Physics at Columbia University, Works on the apparatus used in the experimental work which has conclusively confirmed a new and fundamental theory in nuclear physics--the theory of consercation of vector current. Professor Wu, who has been cited as one of the world's foremost experiemental physicists, conducted a lengthy series of experiements, with the aid of two associates, Dr. Y.K. Lee and L.W. Mo. The theory confirmed by the Columbia experiements deals with a type of sub-atomic behavior known as ""weak interaction,"" one of nature's four basic kinds of physical interaction. Many laboratories throughout the country have been attempting to confirm the theory since its formulation in 1958. 3.20.63 #9847"
