Nambu's Nobel Prize was for contributions to which interactions?

  • Gravitational

  • Magnetic

  • Electroweak

  • Thermal

Answer

Electroweak interactions describe the combined electromagnetic and weak forces that operate at the subatomic level. Yoichiro Nambu's Nobel Prize recognized his contributions to this field, specifically his work on spontaneous symmetry breaking, which explains how these two forces emerge from a single unified force. This discovery revolutionized our understanding of fundamental interactions and paved the way for the Standard Model of particle physics.
