1979
Abdus Salam won The Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979.
Abdus Salam won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979 for his contributions to the theory of the unified weak and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particles, now known as the electroweak theory. His work helped establish the Standard Model of particle physics.
Abdus Salam, a Pakistani theoretical physicist, was the first Muslim to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979 for his contribution to electroweak unification.

Sheldon Lee Glashow won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979. He received the award jointly with Abdus Salam and Steven Weinberg for their contributions to the electroweak theory, which unifies electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces.
Prof. Dr. Abdus Salam
The only Pakistani scientist to win a Nobel Prize for Physics is Dr. Abdus Salam. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1979, along with Sheldon Glashow and Steven Weinberg, for their contributions to the unification of the weak force and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particles. Salam was a prominent theoretical physicist and played a significant role in advocating for science and education in developing countries.
Dr. Abdus Salam made significant contributions to the field of theoretical physics, particularly in the area of electroweak unification, which helped unify the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces. He shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in this field. Additionally, Salam was instrumental in the development of the Standard Model of particle physics.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 1979 was awarded jointly to Sheldon Lee Glashow, Abdus Salam and Steven Weinberg for their contributions to the theory of the unified weak and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particles, including, inter alia, the prediction of the weak neutral current.
As of now, three individuals from Pakistan have been awarded Nobel Prizes. They are Malala Yousafzai, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 for her advocacy of girls' education; Abdus Salam, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979 for his contribution to the electroweak unification; and Shakuntala Devi, who was recognized posthumously for her contributions to mathematics in 2023.
