Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa for the discovery of the origin of the broken symmetry which predicts the existence of at
least three families of quarks in nature.
- Nobel 2004: To David J. Gross, H. David Politzer and Frank Wilczek, for the discovery of asymptotic freedom in the theory of the strong interaction.
- Nobel 1999: To Gerardus 't Hooft and Martinus J.G. Veltman, for elucidating the quantum structure of electroweak interactions in physics.
- Nobel 1995: To Martin L. Perl and Frederick Reines, for pioneering experimental contributions to lepton physics.
