Introducing Marie Curie

Marie Curie, born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, was a pioneering physicist and chemist renowned for her groundbreaking research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and remains the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields: Physics (1903) for her work on radiation, and Chemistry (1911) for her discovery of the elements radium and polonium. Curie’s research contributed significantly to the development of X-ray technology and cancer treatments. Despite facing obstacles as a woman in science, she dedicated her life to research and education, and her work laid the foundation for modern atomic physics. Curie passed away in 1934 from complications related to her prolonged exposure to radiation, but her legacy continues to inspire scientists worldwide.
