On a purely foundational level, the Curies were the first to show that atoms were not unchangeable -- that radioactivity was not a chemical reaction but, instead, comes from the element itself.

Radium, which the Curies discovered, is a highly radioactive source of alpha particles. It was used in Rutherford's experiment that showed the atom had a nuclear structure. For many decades, radium was also used as a means to kill tumors.
