Marie Curie wanted to be granted her graduate degree in physics. For this purpose she chose to study the radioactivity of uranium that had been earlier discovered by Becquerel for her thesis. The elements polonium and radium that she discovered during her study of uranium were even bigger surprise to the physics of the day than was Becquerel's original discovery of radioactivity.
