American physicist, born 1932, was awarded the 1977 Oppenheimer Memorial Medal, the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics for contributions to the unified theory of weak and electromagnetic interactions, and the 2012 European Physical Society Prize  for elementary particle theory. He taught at Stanford and the University of California Berkeley and is now Higgins Professor of Physics emeritus at Harvard, where he served from 1966 to 2000, and Metcalf Professor of the Sciences emeritus at Boston University, from 1984 to 2018. His a fellow of the National Academy of Science, American Philosophical Society, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and  a foreign member of the academic societies of six other nations.

Most radioactive substances used in medicine and technology decay due to weak interactions. Glashow developed the unified theory that deepens the understanding of the weak interaction through its close relationship with the electromagnetic force: the two forces emerge as different aspects of a single electroweak interaction. In his theory, there must also be processes in which the neutrino maintains its identity. The experiments of the 70s already confirmed these predictions of the theory. In the following twenty years, the precision in confirming the theory has reached such high levels that today we speak of the Standard Model.
