Marie Curie (1867–1934) was a Polish-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity and is credited for discovering radioactive polonium. On 4 July 1934, she died at the Sancellemoz sanatorium in Passy, Haute-Savoie , from aplastic anaemia believed to have been contracted from her long-term exposure to ...
Marie Curie (1867–1934) was a Polish-French physicist and chemist. She was a pioneer in the early field of radioactivity, later becoming the first two-time Nobel laureate and the only person with Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry.
Matthew Reed, Chief Executive of Marie Curie, said: “Marie Curie remains neutral on the matter of assisted dying, but what we are absolutely not neutral on is the need to urgently fix end of ...
Treatise on Radioactivity (French: Traité de Radioactivité) is a two-volume 1910 book written by the Polish scientist Marie Curie as a survey on the subject of radioactivity. [1] [2] [3] She was awarded her second Nobel Prize in the following year after the publication of the book. [4]
L'Huillier is the first female laureate to receive 1/3 of monetary award of the Nobel Prize in Physics (Curie, Goeppert–Mayer, Strickland and Ghez received 1/4). Physicists and physicochemists that won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry include Marie Curie, [9] Irène Joliot-Curie, daughter of Marie Curie, in 1935, [10] and Dorothy Hodgkin in 1964. [11]
