Glashow, Sheldon Lee (1932) US physicist and educator. He shared the 1979 Nobel Prize for physics with the US physicist Steven Weinberg and the Pakistani physicist Abdus Salam for their independent formulation of a unified “electroweak” theory that described both electromagnetic interaction and the weak interaction of elementary particles. He also proposed that quarks make up particles that interact strongly.
