A few days ago, the official Twitter of the Nobel Prize released a popular science announcement, saying that the experimental notebook that Marie Curie once used is still radioactive today and will last for 1500 years. The Tweet mentioned that Marie Curie died of aplastic anemia in 1934 and that she had been exposed to radiation lines for many years. Even to this day, the notebooks she used in her lab from 1899 to 1902 are radioactive and will last for 1500 years. Born in Warsaw, Poland, Marie Curie graduated from the University of Paris and is a famous scientist, physicist, chemist, pioneer of radioactivity research, known as "Marie Curie". She discovered the radioactive elements polonium (po) and radium (ra), becoming the world's first two Nobel Prize winner.
