Simulation Study of Aspects of the Classical Hydrogen Atom
... a hydrogen atom might arise if the SED basic theoretical idea is correct. If we consider the atom in equilibrium with radiation at absolute zero temperature, then when the electron is far from the proton, the period of its orbit is large, so the electron should tend to interact most strongly with fr ...

Chien-Shiung Wu
_(3).jpg?width=300)
Chien-Shiung Wu (simplified Chinese: 吴健雄; traditional Chinese: 吳健雄; pinyin: Wú Jiànxióng, May 31, 1912 – February 16, 1997) was a Chinese American experimental physicist who made significant contributions in the field of nuclear physics. Wu worked on the Manhattan Project, where she helped develop the process for separating uranium metal into uranium-235 and uranium-238 isotopes by gaseous diffusion. She is best known for conducting the Wu experiment, which contradicted the hypothetical law of conservation of parity. This discovery resulted in her colleagues Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang winning the 1957 Nobel Prize in physics, and also earned Wu the inaugural Wolf Prize in Physics in 1978. Her expertise in experimental physics evoked comparisons to Marie Curie. Her nicknames include ""the First Lady of Physics"", ""the Chinese Madame Curie"", and the ""Queen of Nuclear Research"".
