No, Marie Curie died on 4th July 1934 while Irene died on the 17th March 1956.
Yes, Marie Curie was commonly referred to as Madame Curie, particularly after her marriage to Pierre Curie in 1895. She is known for her pioneering research on radioactivity and for being the first woman to win a Nobel Prize.
There is Madam Curie or Marie Curie who is one in the same. She was a French citizen but was born in Poland.
Marie Curie established mobile radiography units to provide X-ray services to diagnose injuries of soldiers in World War I. She trained women as radiographers and used her knowledge of radiation to assist with medical treatments in the battlefield. Additionally, she raised funds and awareness for her mobile units to support the war effort.
Marie's father influenced her most. He passed down his love of science and math to her and was there to take care of her when her mother passed away. Sklodoska lost his job the same year his wife died and made his home into a boarding house to earn money.
Marie Curie and Albert Einstein both lived during the same time period, with Curie researching radioactivity and Einstein developing the theory of relativity. Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel also lived during the same time, with Darwin proposing the theory of evolution and Mendel discovering the principles of genetics.

If Marie Curie had not discovered radium, doctors would not have been able to cure cancer in the early stages. Marie Curie was one of the scientists that discovered radiation. She did not invent it. It is likely that given the experimentation going on at the time with radioactive materials, some other scientist would have discovered the same thing. It is likely that all the things that radiation now gives us (lasers, cancer therapy, atomic energy and weapons) would have been invented in a similar time line, although the pushing back of the perfection of the atom bomb would have had dramatic affect on the finale of WWII.
At age fifteen she graduated from high school at the top of her class.She studied mathematics, physics and chemistry at the University of Paris where she graduated first in her undergraduate class.A year later, 1894, also at the University of Paris, she obtained her master's degree in mathematics.She received her DSc from the University of Paris, becoming the first woman in France to complete a doctorate.
Her bio mentions she got a Ph.D nothing about MA or MS. Traditionally if someone does a Ph.D program without the master's midway a master's is granted. The time spent for each degree is the same.
she was born in Warsaw, Poland on November 7th in 1967. 1898- marries Pierre Curie 1903- discovers radium 1903- receives her doctorate 1903- receives the Nobel prize in physics 1906- Pierre Curie dies 1909- Becomes first person to create a sample of pure radium 1911- Awarded the Nobel prize in chemistry She died of leukemia in 1934.
Radium has no Latin name as it was unknown to the Romans. The name "Radium" is a synthetic Latin style name made up by its discover: Marie Curie.
Marie Skłodowska Curie (7 November 1867 - 4 July 1934) was a physicist and chemist of Polishupbringing and, subsequently, French citizenship. She was a pioneer in the field of radioactivity, the first person honored with two Nobel Prizes,[1] receiving one in physics and later, one in chemistry. She was the first woman to serve as professor at the University of Paris.She was born Maria Skłodowska in Warsaw (thenVistula Country, Russian Empire; now Poland) and lived there until she was twenty-four years old. In 1891 she followed her elder sister, Bronisława, to study inParis, where she obtained her higher degrees and conducted her subsequent scientific work. She founded the Curie Institutes in Paris and Warsaw. Her husband, Pierre Curie, was a Nobel co-laureate of hers, being awarded a Nobel prize in physics at the same time. Her daughter, Irène Joliot-Curie, and son-in-law, Frédéric Joliot-Curie, also received Nobel prizes.Her achievements include the creation of a theory ofradioactivity (a term she coined [2]), techniques for isolating radioactive isotopes, and the discovery of two new elements, polonium and radium. Under her direction, the world's first studies were conducted into the treatment of neoplasms (cancers), using radioactive isotopes.While an actively loyal French citizen, she never lost her sense of Polish identity. She named the first newchemical element that she discovered (1898) poloniumfor her native country,[3] and in 1932 she founded a Radium Institute (now the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Institute of Oncology) in her home town, Warsaw, which was headed by her sister, Bronisława, who was a physician.
