Hadronic parity violation uses quark-quark weak interactions to probe nonperturbative strong interaction dynamics through two nonperturbative QCD scales: [Formula: see text] and the fine-tuned MeV scales of NN bound states in low energy nuclear physics. The current and projected availability of high-intensity neutron and photon sources coupled with ongoing experiments and continuing developments in theoretical methods provide the opportunity to greatly expand our understanding of hadronic parity violation in few-nucleon systems. The current status of these efforts and future plans are discussed.

Mirror universe is a fundamental way to restore parity symmetry in weak interactions. It naturally provides the lightest mirror nucleon as a unique GeV-scale asymmetric dark matter particle candidate. We conjecture that the mirror parity is respected by the fundamental interaction Lagrangian, and its possible soft breaking arises only from non-interaction terms in the gauge-singlet sector. We realize the spontaneous mirror parity violation by minimizing the vacuum Higgs potential, and derive the corresponding Higgs spectrum. We demonstrate that the common origin of CP violation in the visible and mirror neutrino seesaws can generate the right amount of matter and mirror dark matter via leptogenesis. We analyze the direct detections of GeV-scale mirror dark matter by TEXONO and CDEX experiments. We further study the predicted distinctive Higgs signatures at the LHC.

The Copley Medal is awarded to Professor A. Salam, K.B.E., F.R.S., in recognition of his work on the symmetries of the laws of nature, and especially the unification of the electromagnetic and weak forces. Professor Salam has made outstanding and influential contributions to elementary particle theory over a period of 40 years. His early work included the completion of Dyson's proof of the renormalization of quantum electrodynamics, and his work on parity violation, dispersion relations and SU(3) invariance. This work contributed greatly to the development of elementary particle theory, but his major contribution was the proposal, in parallel with S. Weinberg, of the electroweak theory, unifying quantum electrodynamics with the weak interactions between atomic particles. That theory, the first to bring together the theories of the atomic forces, received spectacular confirmation through the discovery at CERN in 1983 of W + and Z intermediate bosons.

A new highly photo-switchable ligand furnishes supramolecular tetrahedral nanomagnets with Ln(iii) ions (Ln = Dy, Tb). Intramolecular weak interactions define the conformation of the ligand, quenching the photochromic activity.
