Curie

What makes Marie Curie outstanding is the fact that she is the only person to win two nobel prizes in different fields of science and the first woman to win one too. Most of her research and discoveries were with her husband. Together they discovered the elements: Radium and Polonium. Both of those elements were found in pitchblende. Pitchblende is basically a rock but it has a bunch of elements in it including Radium and Polonium. Marie Curie was remarkable chemist and physicist who had won…

aptly named Manya after Marie Curie Sklodowska’s childhood nickname, was an impressive story telling of the life up to the beginnings of World War I of the Nobel Prize winning Chemist and Physicist Marie Curie Sklodowska. The presentation itself took place in Boettcher lecture hall 102 but was dressed up nicely to match important periods in the life of Marie Curie. The set consisted of a small table which held several notebooks and correspondence that were of import to Curie, such as those…

Radioactivity has had a great impact on the medical field especially with x-rays. Marie Curie was one of the main researchers on the radioactivity used for these. Not only did she study and research the material, but she also saved millions of people during World War 1. (Funk & Wagnalls) Marie Curie’s passion for science and physics was and is, as illuminating as the glow from the element radium she is known for discovering. She has left a magnificent imprint on the world of science and…

included, after he discovered that uranium could disembogue radiation. Not very long after his discovery, Marie Curie began studying in the field of radiation, and completed most of the pioneering work on nuclear changes. Marie Curie discovered that radiation was related to the amount of radioactive element that is present, she also discovered that radiation was a property of atoms. Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person to win 2. In 1927, Herman Blumgart uses a…

Maria Sklodowska, who is commonly known as Marie Curie. She was the first woman to gain recognition in the science field. As well as, the first and only female to have won two Nobel Prize awards in different categories. Marie Curie was a towering scientific intellect during the Victorian era, where opportunities for women academically were extremely rare. During the 1800’s not one individual would have predicted a woman to make a difference. Marie Curie changed that by blasting the world of…

their achievements, but there is one other person that I believe should be included. Marie Curie was a scientist that contributed several important discoveries to the world of science, and she was the first women to win a Nobel Prize. Moreover, Marie’s achievements have shown that anything is possible if you put your mind to it, which is why I believe that she should be nominated to appear on a stamp. Marie Curie demonstrated various actions and qualities in her life that are admirable to me.…

The first woman to win a noble prize for not just Physics but Chemistry too, would have a dramatic impact on the world as we know it today.

During school when Marie became fascinated with the art of science Marie’s parents were extremely encouraging and supportive.…

motivator than money. In the world of science, the Curie family is a prime example of scientists who gave up money in order to benefit the greater good. Furthermore, Mahatma Gandhi represents the world leaders who chose to do the moral thing as opposed to one that would bring in more money. And lastly, in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch is the epitome of conscientious thinking in perhaps all literature. Marie Curie and her husband Pierre Curie spent the majority of their…

need radiation treatment. Radiation and x-rays are available today because of Marie Curie; a scientist from Poland that discovered Radiation and Plutonium. Where would we be without these scientists? They have paved the way for some many scientists…
