In 1979, Pakistani scientist Abdus Salam won the Nobel Prize for physics. His life’s work was key to defining a theory of particle physics still used today, and it laid the groundwork for the ...

In doing so, Salam became the first Muslim scholar to win a science-related Nobel prize – and is so far the only Pakistani to achieve that feat. After moving to the UK in 1946 just before the ...

Paris - The founder of the International Center for Theoretical Physics has called for extending the concept to other disciplines and eventually creating an International Center for Science. Abdus ...

Professor Abdus Salam (1926–1996) was a visionary physicist, a pioneer in theoretical particle physics, and a tireless advocate for the advancement of science in developing countries.

Pakistan's Abdus Salam was the first professor of theoretical physics at Imperial College, London, and the director of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics at Trieste for almost 30 years.

In The Trial of Abdus Salam, the science is denser, delving into topics like symmetry-breaking, particle mass, and the elusive Higgs boson, which Salam’s theories helped predict.
