she discovered two new elements (radium and polonium, two radioactive elements that they extracted chemically from pitchblende ore) and studied the x-rays they emitted. She found that the harmful properties of x-rays were able to kill tumors. By the end of World War I, Marie Curie was probably the most famous woman in the world. She had made a conscious decision, however, not to patent methods of processing radium or its medical applications.
A picture of Marie Skłodowska-Curie is posted at the Wikipedia article on this amazing woman of science. A link is provided. There are several good photos at the Space and Motion web site's Physics section, and a link is provided to that, as well.
Marie Sklodowska Curie was a Polish chemist and physicist who studied in the field of radioactivity. She and her husband, Pierre Curie, founded the element radium using pitchblende, and mineral that contains uranium and oxygen. She won 2 Nobel Prizes for her work. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person to win 2 Nobel Prizes. She also is credited with creating a small dose of radium used to help fight off cancer. She was born on November 7th, 1867 in Warsaw, Poland. She died on July 4th, 1934, in Passay, France, from over-exposure to radium. She and Pierre had two children, Eve and Irene.
And this is all the real stuff I'm not kidding because I've been spending weeks doing a report on her for school, so I would know.
Henri Becquerel, Marie Curie, and Pierre Curie were all scientists in France who worked with uranium and radioactivity. They won Nobel prizes and made many discoveries that helped in medicine and other areas of the scientific community.
they worked with radiation, and they discovered uranium and thorium
The photo link below has a nice picture of her.
she was born in Warsaw, Poland on November 7, 1867
Marie Curie is a famous physics and worked and discovered radiation. she married Pierre Curie in 1895.
marie curie was a scientist that discovered radium and polonium with her husband pierrie curie.
I believe this is Madame Curie in her science lab.
Yes, Marie Curie and Madame Curie are the same person. Madame is French for Mrs.
Marie Curie was not a chemist; she had a degree in physics and another degree in mathematics.
no
Curie's efforts, with her husband, Pierre Curie, led to the discovery of polonium and radium and, after Pierre's death, the development of X-rays.
