Wu Jianxiong (English: Wu Jianxiong; ; 19 12 may 31-1February 997 16), a Chinese-American physicist, has made great contributions in the field of nuclear physics. In the Manhattan Project, she participated in the research on how to separate two isotopes of uranium, uranium -235 and uranium -238, by gas diffusion.
Its most famous work is to verify parity non-conservation by experimental methods. This work won his colleagues Li Zhengdao and Yang Zhenning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, and he also won the Wolff Prize in Physics in 1978 for the first time. Wu Jianxiong's achievements in experimental physics are often compared with Madame Curie.
She is often called "Madame Curie of China", "First Lady of Physical Research", "Queen of Nuclear Research" and "the most outstanding female experimental physicist in the world".
