Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1911 Biography Marie Curie Her early researches, together with her husband, were often performed under difficult conditions, laboratory arrangements were poor and both had to undertake much teaching to earn a livelihood. The discovery of radioactivity by Henri Becquerel in 1896 inspired the Curies in their brilliant researches and analyses which led to the isolation of polonium, named after the country of Marie's birth, and radium. Mme. Curie developed methods for the separation of radium from radioactive residues in sufficient quantities to allow for its characterization and the careful study of its properties, therapeutic properties in particular. Mme. Curie throughout her life actively promoted the use of radium to alleviate suffering and during World War I, assisted by her daughter, Irene, she personally devoted herself to this remedial work. She retained her enthusiasm for science throughout her life and did much to establish a radioactivity laboratory in her native city - in 1929 President Hoover of the United States presented her with a gift of $ 50,000, donated by American friends of science, to purchase radium for use in the laboratory in Warsaw.

11. The Curies Short biographical article tells about the husband-wife team who spent much of their careers studying radioactivity. From PBS. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/hawking/cosmostar/html/cstars_curies.html

MARIE and PIERRE CURIE Radioactivity Ernest Rutherford B orn in Poland during a time of Russian domination, Marie Sklodowska (1867-1934) had no real opportunity for an education after high school. She saved her hard-earned money to help pay for her older sisterís medical studies in Paris, then followed her to France in 1891, studying at the Sorbonne. In 1894, she met the French chemist Pierre Curie (1859-1906), and they were married a year later. Although Pierre had already made a name for himself, their collaboration proved far more fruitful than his solo career. They spent much of their careers studying radioactivity (a term coined by Marie), examining the particles and energy produced as radioactive atoms decayed, and in the process learned about the building blocks of matter. They established that the heavy element thorium was radioactive and discovered two new elements: polonium and radium. They refined techniques for extracting radium from ores. Marie won Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry for their work. (Pierre failed to share in the second simply because he was dead.) Yet despite living in near povertyóthey spent most of their money on further researchóthey were idealistic enough to refuse to patent any of their potentially lucrative discoveries. Pierre was killed when he was run down by a horse-drawn carriage. Marie died of leukemia, almost certainly the result of a lifetime of exposure to high levels of radiation. Ironically, one of the enduring applications of their work has been in the treatment of cancer with radiation.

Spotlight Scientist Marie Curie (1867-1934) Women in Physics Herstory What Were Marie Curie's Achievements? M arie Sklodowska Curie was one of the first woman scientists to win worldwide fame, and indeed, one of the great scientists of this century. Winner of two Nobel Prizes (for Physics in 1903 and for Chemistry in 1911), she performed pioneering studies with radium and contributed profoundly to the understanding of radioactivity. M arie Curie died from exposure to the radium that made her famous. Einstein once said of her, "Marie Curie is, of all celebrated beings, the one whom fame has not corrupted." Source: Madame Curie by Irene Curie DaCapo Press 1937 ISBN 0306802813 (Photograph property of the Radium Institute) Marie Curie's Primary Accomplishment D uring the first years after the discovery of radioactivity, a large number of chemists and physicists were busy studying the new phenomenon. Madame Marie Sklodowska Curie, Polish born, educated in chemistry, and the wife of the French physicist, Pierre Curie, carried out an extensive test of all chemical elements and their compounds for radioactivity, and found that thorium emits radiation similar to that of uranium. Comparing radioactivity of uranium ores with that of metallic uranium, she noticed that ores are about five times more radioactive than would be expected from their uranium content. This indicated that the ores must contain small amounts of some other radioactive substances much more active than uranium itself, but, to separate them, very large amounts of expensive uranium ores were needed.

Curie, Marie chemist (1867-1934) Born in Poland as Manya Sklodowska, she is famous for her work on radioactivity. In fact, she and her husband, Pierre, first coined that word. She won the Nobel prize twice, first in 1903 (jointly with her husband, and with Henri Becquerel) for the discovery of radium and polonium, and again (by herself) in 1911 for the isolation of pure radium. The American Association of University Women provides this information on Mme Curie's research. "The year was 1919. Europe had been ravaged by World War I. And radium was far too expensive for a scientist of modest means to afford for experiments. Even one as famous as Madame Marie Curie. As a result, Madame Curie's ground-breaking research had reached a virtual standstill..." AAUW members from Maine to California helped raise an astonishing $156,413, enabling Madame Curie to purchase one gram of radium and continue her experiments. Experiments that helped her create the field of nuclear chemistry and forever change the course of science." We find these three quotes attributed to her Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.

The role of teacher is, perhaps, the least sursprising because Marie was born, on November 7, 1867, into a family of teachers. Her father, Wladyshaw Sklodowski ran several schools including a boys' reformatory during his career as a teacher. He studied biology at the University of Warsaw, and with his own children, he never missed a "pedagogical (learning) opportunity." He was a man with a vast store of knowledge, and his children thought of him as a walking encyclopedia. Marie's grandfather, Jozef Sklodowski, was also a teacher and a school principal with strong "republican views." He put his career on the line by encouraging children of peasant families to study and allowing them in the same classes with the children of the nobility. Marie's mother, Bronislawa, had an enormous influence on all of her children's lives, but especially Marie or Manya as she was called at home. Bronislawa was a working parent: the headmistress of one of Warsaw's better girls' schools. For a few years, the family lived in an apartment in the rear of the school, in a stately town house on Freta Street. Marie was born in this apartment; she was the youngest of five children. Madam Sklodowska often found herself overloaded with all the work of running a big household and a school. Sometimes she wished she were a still a single woman. Nevertheless, she found time to make all the children's shoes by hand. Bronislawa was a republican in her own way, and little Marie learned never to look down on manual labor.

Branch of Science Chemists Branch of Science Physicists ... Physics Prize Curie, Marie (1867-1934) Polish maiden name: Maria Sklodowska. Polish-French chemist who gave the name "radioactivity" to the emission of radiation from atoms. Working with her husband, Pierre , she showed thorium, as well as uranium to be radioactive, and demonstrated that the radioactivity of a substance was proportional to the quantity of radioactive material present. Noticing that the radioactivity in some samples was too high to explain by any concentration of uranium, she set out to isolate the source of the radioactivity. In 1898, she discovered polonium in pitchblende. The radioactivity was not strong enough to explain the observations, however, so further investigations were carried out. Later that year, Marie discovered a trace amount of highly radioactive radium. During the course of four years, the Curies refined eight tons of raw ore to produce one gram of radium. Marie shared the 1903 Nobel Prize in physics with her husband Pierre and Henri Becquerel for the investigation of radioactivity. She also received the 1911 Nobel Prize in chemistry for her discovery of two new elements, which she had to accept alone because her husband had been killed in a traffic accident. This makes Madame Curie one of only four people to have received two Nobel Prizes:

Nobel Prize Award Ceremonies Marie and Pierre Curie and the Discovery of Polonium and Radium 1 December 1996 Introduction Marie and Pierre Curie 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. On November 8, 1895
