Marie Curie Fascinating facts about Marie Curie who pioneered the study of radioactivity in 1903. Marie Curie (1867 ~ 1934) d Marie Sklodowska, as she was called before marriage, was born in Warsaw in 1867. Both her parents were teachers who believed deeply in the importance of education. Marie had her first lessons in physics and chemistry from her father. She had a brilliant aptitude for study and a great thirst for knowledge; however, advanced study was not possible for women in Poland. Marie dreamed of being able to study at the Sorbonne in Paris, but this was beyond the means of her family. To solve the problem, Marie and her elder sister, Bronya, came to an arrangement: Marie should go to work as a governess and help her sister with the money she managed to save so that Bronya could study medicine at the Sorbonne. When Bronya had taken her degree she, in her turn, would contribute to the cost of Marie's studies. So it was not until she was 24 that Marie came to Paris to study mathematics and physics. Bronya was now married to a doctor of Polish origin, and it was at Bronya's urgent invitation to come and live with them that Marie took the step of leaving for Paris. By then she had been away from her studies for six years, nor had she had any training in understanding rapidly spoken French. But her keen interest in studying and her joy at being at the Sorbonne with all its opportunities helped her surmount all difficulties. To save herself a two-hours' journey, she rented a little attic in the Quartier Latin. There the cold was so intense that at night she had to pile on everything she had in the way of clothing so as to be able to sleep.

Marie Sklodowska Curie Born: Major discipline: Chemistry Died: Minor discipline: Marie Sklodowska Curie is the only person to have been awarded two Nobel Prizes in science. She was born in Warsaw, Poland on November 7, 1867. When she finished her secondary education, she went to Paris and became a governess to help pay for her sister's medical studies there. In 1891, Curie began her studies at the Sorbonne and joined Dr. Gabriel Lippmann's laboratory two years later. In 1895 she married Pierre Curie, with whom she worked until his untimely death in 1906. Marie Curie was awarded a Ph.D. in 1903 for her work on the discovery and isolation of two elements, polonium and radium. That same year, Marie, her husband Pierre, and Henri Becquerel shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of radioactivity. Marie was the first to use the terms "radioactive" and "radioactivity" to describe the elements exhibiting this property of matter, as well as the property itself. In 1904 she became the chief research assistant in Pierre Curie's laboratory at the Sorbonne. In 1906, after Pierre's passing, she was appointed to Pierre's vacant professorship and became the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne. The Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded to her five years later for the isolation of pure radium.

Life A MISERABLE DAY It was April 19, 1906. The sky was dark and it was raining fast. On that Thursday, Pierre made weak by radiation and exhausted by work, was run over by a horse–drawn wagon near the Pont Neuf in Paris and was killed. When Marie heard the news, she remained still, she neither moaned nor wept. After a long despairing silence, her lips moved at last and she asked in a low voice, hoping against hope: "Pierre is dead? Actually dead ?" From that day, Marie Curie became not only a widow, but also a pitiful and hopelessly lonely woman. She felt that everything was over. But the opinion of her supporters was that Marie was the only physicist who could replace Pierre at the Sorbonne. For the first time, a position in French higher education was given to a woman. When she came to know about it, she said, "I will try". There came to her memory, the words of Pierre: ‘Whatever happens, even if one has to go on like a body without a soul, one must work just the same.’ THE TROUBLED TIMES In the beginning of November 1977, the press in the France started a campaign against Marie Curie. They took up a personal issue regarding her relation with her colleague Paul Langeuin. He had had marital problems for several years and had moved from his suburban home to a small apartment in Paris. Marie was depicted as the reason. Both were described in slanderous terms. The scandal developed dramatically. Marie defended herself and got an apology from the newspaper "Le Temps".

"Radiations from Compounds of Uranium and of Thorium," Comptes Rendus Conjectured the radiation, which Henri Becquerel called uranic rays, emanated from atoms of uranium, and deduced from quantitative studies of the radioactivity of samples of coal and pitchblende that there were other radioactive elements besides uranium. She coined the word radioactive. With Pierre Curie, she discovered radium, polonium, and other heretofore unknown radioactive elements.

Together with her husband, Pierre, she discovered two new elements (radium and polonium, two radioactive elements that they extracted chemically from pitchblende ore) and studied the x-rays they emitted. She found that the harmful properties of x-rays could be used in medical treatment to kill tumors. By the end of World War I, Marie Curie was probably the most famous woman in the world. She had made a conscious decision, however, not to patent radium or its medical applications. Marie Curie was born November 7, 1867 in Poland. When she died on July 4, 1934, she was perhaps the best known woman in the world. Her co-discovery with her husband Pierre Curie of the radioactive elements radium and polonium represents one of the best known stories in modern science for which they were recognized in 1901 with the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1911, Marie Curie was honored with a second Nobel prize, this time in chemistry, to honor her for successfully isolating pure radium and determining radium's atomic weight.

Marie Sklodowska Curie was born as Maria Sklodowska (sklaw DAWF skah) in Warsaw, Poland on November 7, 1867. She was known while she was young for being able to remember things very well. She worked as a teacher and a governess to help feed her family. She lived in Poland until she was about 24, then she moved to Paris to go to a famous French school, the Sorbonne. Marie had heard of Henri Becquerel 's discovery of spontaneous radioactivity. She decided to try to discover whether or not this property could be found in elements other than uranium. She and Pierre started working together to try to find out. She discovered a new element in the summer of 1898 which she called polonium in honor of her native country Poland. A few months later, she discovered the element radium . Pierre studied the physical properties of these new elements, while Marie worked to isolate the radium in a metallic state. She succeeded in doing this, and she receieved many honors for doing so. She got her doctorate in science in 1903 along with the Davy Medal of the Royal Society and also the Nobel Prize in 1903, which she shared with both Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel. On July 4, 1934, Marie Curie died of leukemia caused by constant exposure to the radioactive elements that she studied. She was a woman of many firsts. She was the first woman to:

Marie and Pierre Curie and the Discovery of Polonium and Radium Stockholm, Sweden, on February 28, 1996 Introduction At the end of the 19th century a number of discoveries were made in physics which paved the way for the breakthrough of modern physics and led to the revolutionary technical development that is continually changing our daily lives. Around 1886 Heinrich Hertz demonstrated experimentally the existence of radio waves. It is said that Hertz only smiled incredulously when anyone predicted that his waves would one day be sent round the earth. Hertz died in 1894 at the early age of 37. In September 1895 Guglielmo Marconi sent the first radio signal over a distance of 1.5 km. In 1901 he spanned the Atlantic. Hertz did not live long enough to experience the far-reaching positive effects of his great discovery, nor of course did he have to see it abused in bad television programs. It is hard to predict the consequences of new discoveries in physics. was exposing salts of uranium to sunlight to study whether the new radiation could have a connection with luminescence, he found out by chance - thanks to a few days of cloudy weather - that another new type of radiation was being spontaneously emanated without the salts of uranium having to be illuminated - a radiation that could pass through metal foil and darken a photographic plate. The two researchers who were to play a major role in the continued study of this new radiation were Marie and Pierre Curie.

Pierre Curie was born in Paris on May 15, 1859. Educated by his father, a doctor, Curie developed a passion for mathematics at the age of 14 and showed a particular aptitude for spatial geometry, which was later to help him in his work on crystallography. Matriculating at the age of 16 and obtaining his licence ès sciences at 18, he was in 1878 taken on as laboratory assistant at the Sorbonne. He gained his Licenciateship in Physics in 1878 and continued as a demonstrator in the physics laboratory until 1882. In 1895 he obtained his Doctor of Science degree and was appointed Professor of Physics. He was promoted to Professor in the Faculty of Sciences in 1900. Later, he turned his attention to magnetism. He undertook to write a doctoral thesis with the aim of discovering if there exist any transitions between the three types of magnetism: ferromagnetism, paramagnetism, and diamagnetism. In order to measure the magnetic coefficients, he constructed a torsion balance that measured 0.01 mg, which, in a simplified version, is still used and called the magnetic balance of Curie and Chèneveau. He discovered that the magnetic coefficients of attraction of paramagnetic bodies vary in inverse proportion to the absolute temperature Curie's Law. He then established an analogy between paramagnetic bodies and perfect gases and, as a result of this, between ferromagnetic bodies and condensed fluids. Curie's studies of radioactive substances were made together with his wife, whom he married in 1895.

Femme de science et de courage, cette chercheuse d’origine polonaise a ouvert, par sa découverte du radium, la voie de la physique nucléaire et de la thérapie du cancer. Des travaux qui lui ont coûté la vie. Avant 1995, la crypte, où reposent quelques personnages marquants de la nation, n’accueillait aucune femme de mérite. Un tort que le président Mitterrand a voulu réparer en y transférant les cendres de la physicienne et chimiste Marie Curie et celles de son époux. Ce geste a permis à la France d’honorer, pour sa contribution au prestige de la recherche scientifique française, une étrangère. Car Marie Curie est née Maria Sklodowska à Varsovie, le 7 novembre 1867. La capitale polonaise est alors occupée par les Russes. D’une famille d’enseignants, élevée entre sens du devoir et manque d’argent, Marie mène une vie des plus spartiates.

MARIE CURIE G anadora de dos premios nobel (Física y Química) Su vida Marja Sklodowska (de soltera), nació en Varsovia el 7 de noviembre de 1867, fue la quinta hija del matrimonio de Ladislas Sklodowski, profesor de física y matemáticas de liceo, y de Bronislawa Boguska, quien era maestra, pianista y cantante. Desde muy temprana edad, Marja demostró poseer una excelente memoria y una gran capacidad de estudio, era amante de la lectura, la historia natural y la física. Aunque su niñez se vio quebrada a los 11 años, cuando muere su madre a causa de la tuberculosis. Sin embargo, este duro golpe no mermó en ella su ánimo por estudiar. A pesar de sus ganas de continuar estudiando, la precaria condición económica de su familia no se lo permite, pues en esa época su padre está concentrado en costear los estudios de medicina de su hermana Bronislawa en París; a esto se agregaba el hecho de que en aquel tiempo la universidad de Varsovia no admitía mujeres. Cuando en 1891 su hermana Bronislawa se gradúa, Marie se traslada a París para incorporarse al curso de ciencias en la Universidad de la Sorborne. Vive en una pequeña habitación alquilada y dedica todo su esfuerzo a terminar sus estudios en el menor tiempo posibl. Dos años más tarde, finalizó sus estudios obteniendo el grado de Licenciada en Física, y un año más tarde el de Licenciada en Matemáticas. En esta época, consigue un trabajo como asistente en un laboratorio, en donde conoce a Pierre Curie, quien con sus 35 años ya era considerado una luz de esperanza para la física francesa.
