Spontaneous broken symmetry: The Nobel Prize in physics 2008 was awarded to three scientists, Yoichiro Nambu, Toshihide Maskawa and Makoto Kobayashi. In his Nobel lecture, Nambu describes the development of spontaneous broken symmetry in quantum‐field theory, which plays a significant role in elementary particle physics.
