On October 7, 2008, the [[Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences]] awarded the 2008 [[Nobel Prize in Physics]] to three scientists for their work in subatomic physics symmetry breaking. [[Yoichiro Nambu]], of the [[University of Chicago]], won half of the prize for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry in the context of the strong interactions, specifically [[chiral symmetry breaking]]. Physicists [[Makoto Kobayashi (physicist)|Makoto Kobayashi]] and [[Toshihide Maskawa]], of [[Kyoto University]], shared the other half of the prize for discovering the origin of the [[Explicit symmetry breaking|explicit breaking]] of CP symmetry in the weak interactions.<ref>{{cite web|author=The Nobel Foundation|title=The Nobel Prize in Physics 2008|url=http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2008/index.html|work=nobelprize.org|access-date=January 15, 2008}}</ref> This origin is ultimately reliant on the Higgs mechanism, but, so far understood as a "just so" feature of Higgs couplings, not a spontaneously broken symmetry phenomenon.

2008年10月7日，瑞典皇家科学院(Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences)将2008年诺贝尔物理学奖授予三位科学家，以表彰他们在亚原子物理对称性破缺方面的工作。芝加哥大学的Yoichiro Nambu获得了一半的奖金，表彰他发现了在强相互作用下对称性自发破缺的机制，特别是手性对称性破缺。京都大学(Kyoto University)物理学家小林诚(Makoto Kobayashi)和正川俊英(Toshihide Maskawa)因发现了弱相互作用中CP对称性显性破缺的起源而分享了另一半奖金。这一起源最终依赖于希格斯机制，但迄今为止被理解为希格斯耦合的“恰好如此”特征，而不是一种自发的对称破缺现象。
