吳健雄先生的科學貢獻涉及面廣。她不僅以實驗的精確嚴謹見長,而且對重要的物理基本問題有著深刻的洞察力。物理實驗的發展通常會受到物理理論的制約,但吳先生不被“約定俗成”的“常識”所禁錮,不被當時的“權威理論”所嚇倒,這一點是非常了不起的,對今天的物理學工作者和愛好者,對在校的青年學子們都有著很大的鼓舞作用。
吳健雄先生的一生奉獻給了崇高的科學事業。她對科學真理的不懈追求,堅韌不拔的崇高品格,博大的愛國情懷,和對物理學的卓越貢獻,都將在人類探索自然的歷史上留下光輝印記。

中國物理學會熱誠地邀請全國各省市物理學會的同仁們,廣大的物理學工作者和愛好者們,中國物理學會科普基地學校的老師們、學生們,線上參與此次活動,共同紀念“物理學第一夫人”吳健雄先生,弘揚先生獻身科學的崇高精神以及愛國至善的偉大情懷,以鼓勵青年學子投身到中華復興的偉大實踐中去。
Professor Tang Xiaodong (唐曉東). Professor Tang is currently the leader of the nuclear astrophysics group of the Institute of Modern Physics, CAS and adjunct professor of Lanzhou University. Professor Tang completed his physics undergraduate studies at Nanjing (the Alma Mater of Madame Wu) and his Ph.D. in nuclear physics in the Cyclotron Laboratory of Texas A&M University. Before returning to China, he was a postdoc at the Argonne National Laboratory and also was an assistant professor of physics at the University of Notre Dame. He is an expert in nuclear astrophysics.
Professor Yang Haijun (楊海軍). Professor Yang is the director of the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics of Shanghai Jiaotong University. He completed his Ph.D. in physics through a joint-sponsorship from the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of High Energy Physics and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich. He was a postdoc and research faculty at the University of Michigan. He is an expert in machine learning for particle physics and collider experiments. Research wise, he was part of the CERN L3 experiment, the American FermiLab’s MiniBooNE experiment, now the LHC ATLAS experiment and deputy project director of the future Higgs factory - CEPC.
MADAME CHIEN SHIUNG WU GLOBAL SYMPOSIUM
Dear Physics Teaching Colleagues:
Your students no doubt know about the great Mme. Curie, but have they heard of Mme. Wu?Please help us publicize an upcoming Sept. 24 symposium (both real world and online Webinar) honoring the remarkable Dr. Chien Shiung Wu. This event is sponsored jointly by the American and Chinese Physical Societies and many others.
A Chinese immigrant to the U.S. born 1912, C.S. Wu was perhaps the most outstanding woman experimental physicist of her time … the “Queen of Nuclear Science”. Her accomplishments were amazing: from work on the Manhattan Project, to conducting the first experiment to show that “the universe is left-handed” (mirror-symmetry does not apply to all interactions), to being the first woman president of the world’s largest society of physicists (the American Physical society). Wu was nominated many times for a Nobel Prize and won a stunning series of other prizes during her lifetime. There was a U.S. stamp issued in her honor in 2021.
Please join us! Please help and invite your students to do the same.
With warm wishes,
The Organizing Committe
