Uranium was discovered (as an oxide) in 1789 in Germany by Martin Heinrich Klaproth; but the mineral pitchblende was from Jachimow, now in Czech Republic and from Johanngeorgenstadt, now in Germany. The laboratory of Klaproth was in Berlin.
In 1841 Eugene Melchior Peligot obtained uranium as a pure metal.

Was uranium found in the bronze age?

When and how polonium was discovered?
Studying residues of uranium ores Marie Curie found that these residues are more radioactive than uranium; she attributed this radioactivity to an unknown element. She isolated this element and named this element polonium.
What puzzled Marie Curie about uranium?
- They discovered that radiations are emitted from the uranium atom (and not from the molecule containing uranium) and are dependent on the quantity of uranium. - They discovered polonium and radium in uranium minerals.
