Marie Curie (1867-1934), born in Warsaw, known as "Marie Curie", full name Maria Słodowska Curie, is a famous French Polish scientist, physicist and chemist.
So far, only four have won the Nobel Prize twice. Among them, the person who won the Nobel Prize twice for the first time in different fields is none other than the great woman we are going to talk about today - Marie Curie.
Madame curie
In August 1896, Mary passed the examination for the title of university graduate to become a teacher. With the support of Schzenberg, the principal of the School of Physics and Chemistry, Marie was offered a position to work in the school's physics laboratory, working with Pierre.
In July 1898, the Curies presented to the Academy of Sciences "On a New Radioactive Substance in Bituminous Uranium Ore", stating that a new radioactive element No. 84 had been discovered, which was 400 times stronger than uranium and similar to bismuth. Since then, the Curies have worked closely together to establish the earliest methods of radiochemical work.
In December 1898, the Curies and their colleague Bemont presented to the Academy of Sciences "On the Presence of a New Radioactive Substance in Bituminous Uranium Ore", stating that a new element No. 88 was discovered, which was one million times more radioactive than uranium and named Radium. Marie Curie's report on the discovery of the new element radium was published in Polish in the monthly pictorial Sviatero in Warsaw.
Mr. and Mrs. Curie
In 1903, the Curies and Becquerel were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their research on radioactivity, and in 1911, they were again awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of the elements polonium and radium, thus becoming the first people in the world to win the Nobel Prize twice. Marie Curie's accomplishments include pioneering the theory of radioactivity, inventing the technique of separating radioisotopes, and discovering two new elements, polonium and radium. Under her guidance, radioisotopes were used for the first time in the treatment of cancer.
Marie Curie and Albert Einstein
In 1934, the book "Radioactivity" was written, which was published in 1935. The Joliots Curie, under the guidance of Marie Curie, discovered artificial radioactivity.
Marie Curie died of aplastic pernicious anemia on 4 July 1934 due to prolonged exposure to radioactive materials.
Cai Yuanpei, who had invited Marie Curie to visit China, sent a telegram of condolences in French to the University of Paris: "I am shocked to learn of Marie Curie's passing, and on behalf of the Academia Sinica, I would like to express my condolences! ”
