Marie Curie
Marie Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 for her discovery of the radioactive elements polonium and radium.
Marie Curie was the first person to discover radioactive elements, including radium and polonium. She won two Nobel Prizes, one in Physics in 1903 and another in Chemistry in 1911, for her groundbreaking work in radioactivity.
Marie Curie, a pioneering scientist, discovered the radioactive element radium in 1898 along with her husband Pierre Curie. Their discovery of radium marked a major breakthrough in the field of chemistry and earned them a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903.
Ernest Rutherford won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 for his investigations into the disintegration of elements and the chemistry of radioactive substances. He is known for his discovery of the concept of radioactive half-life and distinguishing between alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1938 was awarded to Enrico Fermi for his demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation, and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons.

Ernest Rutherford received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 for his investigations into the disintegration of elements and the chemistry of radioactive substances. His work led to the discovery of radioactive decay and the concept of nuclear structure, pioneering the field of nuclear physics.
radioactive isotopes
Marie and Pierre Curie were scientists who in 1898 discovered the elements radium and polonium. They studied radioactivity and for their work they received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1903.Marie Curie discovered the radioactive element Radium by processing a ton of mineral known as pitchblende. By a long process of crushing and treating wih acids she eventually purified her new element which is highly radioactive. With her husband Pierre they discovered Polonium after their native Poland.
Irene Curie, along with her husband Frederic Joliot, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935 for their synthesis of new radioactive elements. They discovered artificial radioactivity, expanding our understanding of the atomic nucleus.
Marie Curie's main contributions include the discovery of two new elements, polonium and radium, pioneering research in the field of radioactivity, and the development of techniques for isolating radioactive isotopes. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and remains the only person to have won Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields (Physics and Chemistry). Her work laid the foundation for advancements in the fields of nuclear physics, medicine, and energy.
