Christopher Pethick, NORDITA 2008 Physics Nobel PrizeThree Recognized for Work on  The 2008 Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to three physicists whose insights help to explain fundamental properties of the basic laws of nature. Half the prize goes to Yoichiro Nambu (University of Chicago) "for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics." Half will be shared by Makoto Kobayashi (High Energy Accelerator Research Organization Tsukuba, Japan) and Toshihide Maskawa (Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University) "for the discovery of the origin of the broken symmetry which predicts the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature."
