Did Marie curie had an affair with Paul Langevin?

Yes. Pierre died, so it was the simple answer that she would fall in love with someone. They were falling in love, but that abruptly ended because of Paul Langevin's wife.

How did madame curie die?

She was exposed to too much radiation so she blew up.

Where and when was Marie Curie born?

Marie Curie was Born on the 7 of November 1867 in Warsaw Poland

What made Marie curie famous?

The scientist discovered Radium and Polonium and was the only Woman and indeed only the second person of either gender to win TWO Nobel scientific prizes (Physics and Chemistry, in different years) It should be noted that in more recent times, Linus C. Pauling won the Nobel Prize (again, different years) for both Chemistry and Peace. These are the only knwon (Two-category) Nobel laureates. No juvenile has ever won any Nobel award.

Why is Marie Curie be remembered?

She is only important historically - as all scientists are after they have made their last contributions to science. And to go a little bit further Marie's fame is largely due to her personality. She was the one that had the flare for publicity while her rather shy husband Pierre was the true scientist. (Marie shares all her noble prizes with him.)

When did Pierre cruzatte die?

Pierre Cruzatte traveled with the Lewis and Clark expedition. They hired him because he was very skilled at navigating rivers, and because he could speak French as well as the Omaha languages.

What were Marie curie contributes?

She contributed to cancer research by discovering radium, whose gas can heal scar tissue. Also, in World War 1, she got together dozens of trucks, called "Little Curies" and filled them with donated x-ray equipment, saving over a million lives. She discovered polonium, radium, and coined the word radioactivity. She was also the first female to win a nobel prize, and the first person ever to win two nobel prizes. She was also the first female professor at Sorbonne University, in Paris.

Marie Curie's middle name?

Before joining his wife in her research, Curie was already widely known and respected in the world of physics. Pierre Curie was a noted physicist who became famous for his collaboration with his wife Marie Curie in the study of radioactivity. Before joining his wife in her research, Pierre Curie was already widely known and respected in the world of physics. He discovered (with his brother Jacques ) the phenomenon of piezoelectricity--in which a crystal can become electrically polarized--and invented the quartz balance. His papers on crystal symmetry, and his findings on the relation between magnetism and temperature also earned praise in the scientific community. Curie died in a street accident in 1906, a physicist acclaimed the world over but who had never had a decent laboratory in which to work. Regards ManZ! manpreetsingh.fore@yahoo.com

How many schools did Marie Curie attended?

MARIE CURIE ATTENDED SORBONNE SCHOOL IN PARIS,FRANCE

What math did Marie Curie do?

When Marie Curie was attending Sorbonne University, her fist degree was in Physics. Because she did so well, they offered her a scholarship and then she completed a degree in mathematics. She didn't really need to but it helped her physics.

What did Marie and Pierre Curie discover?

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.

Was Madam Curie a chemist?

Marie Curie was a physicist and chemist known for her pioneering research on radioactivity. Her discovery of the elements polonium and radium, as well as her work on the development of X-rays during World War I, solidified her reputation as a groundbreaking scientist in both fields.

What did Marie Curie do with her Nobel prize?

she donated her two Nobel peace prizes to the war effort for world war 1 Her prizes were 1903 - Physics and 1911- Chemistry (both prior to the war). She never won a Peace prize

How did Marie Curie know that she had discovered a new radioactive element?

Her research did not lead to the atomic bomb. The only thing that she discovered that was used in the early atomic bombs was the element polonium (in the neutron source initiators), and it was replaced later with electrically activated tritium fusion neutron sources.

Her research did foreshadow some of the radiation burns, etc. experienced by survivors of the atomic bombings though.

What is an invention by Marie Curie?

Marie Curie invented the mobile radiography unit, also known as the "Little Curie," to provide X-ray services to field hospitals during World War I. This innovation helped to improve medical diagnosis and care for wounded soldiers on the front lines.

Where did Marie Curie do her research?

Marie Curie was a scientist who discovered two elements, polonium (named after Poland, her native country) and radium (with the help of her husband, Pierre). This took place in France in 1898. Marie was also a teacher at a girls' secondary school.

She also received multiple awards in a few different fields.

Did Marie Curie have any other jobs?

Marie Curie also has two different jobs, she was a chemistry teacher and a physics teacher. Marie was the one who discovered two elements; the Radium and Polonium.

How did Marie curie change lifes?

Marie Curie's groundbreaking research on radioactivity led to advancements in both the fields of physics and chemistry. Her discoveries paved the way for important medical treatments like radiation therapy for cancer. She also opened doors for women in science, becoming the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields.

What inspired Murie Curie to be a scientist?

Her mother and father, Bronisława and Władysław Skłodowski, were both well-known teachers. For reasons unknown her family went against the culture of the time and thought educating women was a good idea. In 1891 she followed her elder sister Bronisława to study in Paris where she obtained her higher degrees and conducted her subsequent scientific work.

The "why" of her choices in education and research will never be known, but like Ada Lovelace writing computer code before Babbage had even constructed his Analytic Engine, she was inspired to d so. Perhaps it is a natural consequence of an A Class mind being in a world with so much undiscovered in it.

Why did Marie curie win the noble prize 2 times?

Marie Curie won the noble prize 2 times because of her contribution to the radiation phenomena and for the discovery of polonium and radium. One noble peace prize was for Physics while the other was for Chemistry.
