Marie Curie was interested in the recent discoveries of radiation. Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen had discovered X rays in 1895, and in 1896 Antoine Henri Becquerel had discovered that the element uranium gives off similar invisible radiations. Curie thus began studying uranium radiations, and, using piezoelectric techniques devised by her husband, carefully measured the radiations in pitchblende, an ore containing uranium. When she found that the radiations from the ore were more intense than those from uranium itself, she realized that unknown elements, even more radioactive than uranium, must be present. Marie Curie was the first to use the term radioactive to describe elements that give off radiations as their nuclei break down.Pierre Curie ended his own work on magnetism to join his wife's research, and in 1898 the Curies announced their discovery of two new elements: radium and polonium (named by Marie in honor of Poland)
Studying residues of uranium ores Marie Curie and Pierre Curie found that these residues are more radioactive than uranium; they attributed this radioactivity to unknown elements. They isolated these elements and named these elements polonium and radium.
Polonium and Radium .
Yes she did
maybe she discover radium and polonium because she want people to have more knowledge
In 1898
Polonium and was discovered in 1898 by Pierre Curie and Marie Curie.
She discovered radioactivity and the elements Radium and Polonium!
In July 1898 Pierre and Marie Currie published a paper revealing their discovery of "polonium", In December 1898 announced a second new element, "radium"
Radium is a chemical element Polonium is a chemical element Those two were discovered by Marie Curie
Marie Curie discovered radium and polonium.
In Paris - 1898.
She used an electrometer.
Yes, they worked together.
