In 1901, Harriet Brooks and Ernest Rutherford contributed to the discovery of the element radon by finding evidence that the "emanation" emitted by thorium compounds was likely to be a gas. [23] This follows work in 1899 by Pierre and Marie Curie, who observed that the gas emitted by radium remained radioactive for a month. [24] Kinetic energy
