By the age of 18 he had completed the equivalent of a higher degree, but did not proceed immediately to a doctorate due to lack of money. Instead he worked as a laboratory instructor. In 1880, Pierre and his older brother Jacques demonstrated that an electric potential was generated when crystals were compressed. Shortly afterwards, in 1881, they demonstrated the reverse effect: that crystals could be made to deform when subject to an electric field. Almost all digital electronic circuits now rely on this phenomenon in the form of crystal oscillators Prior to his famous doctoral studies on magnetism he designed and perfected an extremely sensitive torsion balance for measuring magnetic coefficients. Variations on this equipment were commonly used by future workers in that area. Pierre Curie studied ferromagnetism, paramagnetism, and diamagnetism for his doctoral thesis, and discovered the effect of temperature on paramagnetism which is now known as

Curie, Pierre French scientist who shared the Nobel Prize for Physics 1903 with his wife Marie Curie and Henri Becquerel . From 1896 the Curies had worked together on radioactivity, discovering two radioactive elements. Pierre Curie was born in Paris and educated at the Sorbonne, becoming an assistant there 1878. He discovered the piezoelectric effect and, after being appointed head of the laboratory of the Ecole de Physique et Chimie, went on to study magnetism and formulate Curie's law, which states that magnetic susceptibility is inversely proportional to absolute temperature. In 1895 he discovered the Curie point, the critical temperature at which a paramagnetic substance become ferromagnetic. In 1904 he became professor of physics at the Sorbonne.

In 1903 the Curies shared with Antoine Henri Becquerel the Nobel Prize in physics for their studies of radioactivity. In 1911 Madame Curie received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for the discovery of radium and polonium. She was the first person to receive two Nobel awards. Pierre Curie studied at the Sorbonne in his native Paris In 1882 he became director of the laboratory at the School of Physics and Chemistry in Paris. He formulated what became known as Curie's Law, a statement of the effect of temperature changes on magnetism. Marie Sklodowska was born in Warsaw, Poland, where her father taught physics. She took part in revolutionary activity against Russian rule and had to leave Warsaw. In 1891 she began studies at the Sorbonne, where she met Pierre Curie. They were married in 1895.
