Nobel Prize controversies Chen-Ning Yang—by providing him in 1956 with a possible test method for beta decay that worked successfully. Her book "Beta Decay" (1965) is still a sine qua non reference for nuclear physicists. Several Nobel Prizes were awarded for research related to the concepts of the boson, Bose–Einstein statistics and Bose–Einstein condensate—the latest being the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics given for advancing the theory of Bose–Einstein condensates although Satyendra Nath Bose himself was not awarded the Nobel Prize. In his book "The Scientific Edge", physicist Jayant Narlikar observed: "SN Bose's work on particle statistics (c.1922), which clarified the behavior of
