Marie Sklodowska Curie (1867-1934) Rays emitted by compounds of uranium and of thorium Note by M me Sklodowska Curie presented by M. Lippmann, Comptes Rendus , 1101-3 (1898), translation by Carmen Giunta I have studied the conductance of air under the influence of the uranium rays discovered by M. Becquerel , and I examined whether substances other than compounds of uranium were able to make the air a conductor of electricity. In this research I employed a parallel-plate condenser; one of the plates was covered with a uniform layer of uranium or of another finely pulverized substance. (Diameter of the plates 8 cm; separation 3 cm.) One establishes a potential difference of 100 volts between the plates. The absolute value of the current which traversed the condenser was measured by means of an electrometer and a piezoelectric quartz. I examined a large number of metals, salts, oxides, and minerals. The following Table gives, for each substance, the magnitude of the current i in amperes (order of magnitude, 10 ). The substances which I studied but omitted from the Table are at least 100 times less active than uranium.

Prohibited from higher education in her native Poland (then controlled by Russia), she moved to Paris in 1891 and studied at the Sorbonne. In 1895 Marie married Pierre (who was by then a noted scientist), and together they began working on radiation experiments with uranium. (It was Marie who first coined the term "radioactivity" to describe the emission of uranic rays.) In 1898 the Curies discovered polonium and radium, and in 1903 they shared the Nobel Prize for physics with Henri Becquerel. When Pierre was killed suddenly in 1906, Marie took over his post as a professor at the Sorbonne, becoming the first woman to teach there. She was awarded a second Nobel in 1911 (this time for chemistry) for her work on radium and its compounds. Concerned more with humanitarian causes than financial rewards, Marie Curie was one of the most celebrated scientists of her time, at a time when the field was almost exclusively for men.

INTRODUCTION Curie, Marie (1867-1934), Polish-born French chemist who, with her husband Pierre Curie, was an early investigator of radioactivity. Radioactivity is the spontaneous decay of certain elements into other elements and energy. The Curies shared the 1903 Nobel Prize in physics with French physicist Antoine Henri Becquerel for fundamental research on radioactivity. Marie Curie went on to study the chemistry and medical applications of radium. She was awarded the 1911 Nobel Prize in chemistry in recognition of her work in discovering radium and polonium and in isolating radium. MARIE'S EARLY LIFE MARIE'S WORK In 1906 Marie took over Pierre Curie's post at the Sorbonne when he was run down and killed by a horse-drawn carriage. She became the first woman to teach there, and she concentrated all her energies into research and caring for her daughters. The Curies' older daughter, Irene, later married Frédéric Joliot and became a famous scientist and Nobel laureate herself. In 1910 Marie worked with French chemist André Debierne to isolate pure radium metal. In 1914 the University of Paris built the Institut du Radium (now the Institut Curie) to provide laboratory space for research on radioactive materials. MARIE'S DEATH At the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Marie Curie helped to equip ambulances with X-ray equipment, which she drove to the front lines. The International Red Cross made her head of its Radiological Service. She and her colleagues at the Institut du Radium held courses for medical orderlies and doctors, teaching them how to use the new technique. By the late 1920s her health began to deteriorate: Continued exposure to high-energy radiation had given her leukemia. She entered a sanatorium at Haute Savoie and died there on July 4, 1934, a few months after her daughter and son-in-law, the Joliot-Curies, announced the discovery of artificial radioactivity.

Curie, Marie Polka rodným jménem Sklodowska. Pracovala se svým manželem Pierrem a objevila radioaktivní záøení. Pøi pokusech s thoriem a uranem ukázala, že jsou radioaktivní a že radioaktivita je pøímo úmìrná množství radioaktivního materiálu. V roce 1898 prokázala radioaktivitu ve smolinci. Více než po roce objevila velmi radioaktivní radium. Další ètyøi roky usilovnì zpracovávala osm tun surové rudy, aby získala jeden gram radia. V roce 1903 obdržela Marie s manželem Pierrem a Henri Bequerelem Nobelovu cenu za fyziku. Nobelovou cenou byla poctìna ještì jednou v roce 1911 a to za chemii, za izolaci èistého radia. Musela ji pøevzít sama, jelikož Pierre byl zabit pøi dopravní nehodì. A tak se stala paní Marie Curie Sklodowska jednou ze ètyø lidí, kteøí se mohou pyšnit dvìmi Nobelovými cenami. V dalších letech dcera Irené Joliot-Curie a syn Frédéric Joliot-Curie obdrželi Nobelovu cenu. Marie zemøela na leukémii, jako dùsledek radioaktivního ozáøení.

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL Marie and Pierre Curie and the Discovery of Polonium and Radium 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. On November 8, 1895, Henri Becquerel 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.
