The Wu experiment performed at the Bureau of Standards low temperature laboratory, Washington DC, in 1956. The vertical vacuum chamber, containing the cobalt-60, detectors, and field coil, is being placed into a Dewar before being inserted into the large electromagnet in the background, which will cool the radioisotope near absolute zero by adiabatic demagnetization.
Co nuclei emit more beta rays in direction opposite to the right hand rule. The mirror images here are not related by inversion symmetry, contrary to
Co nuclei emit more beta rays in direction opposite to the right hand rule. The mirror images here are not related by inversion symmetry, contrary to parity conservation.

…right. This result was not expected by the physics community, which had previously regarded parity as a symmetry that applied to all forces of nature. Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang, the theoretical physicists who originated the idea of parity nonconservation and proposed the experiment, received the 1957 Nobel…
