Particle physics: Toshihide Maskawa shares the 2008 Physics Nobel Prize with Makoto Kobayashi and Yoichiro Nambu. In his Nobel lecture, Maskawa describes the exciting pathway from his early childhood in Nagoya to the development of his ground‐breaking theory on the origin of the broken symmetry—a theory that plays a significant role in the description of subatomic processes.
