o the fatherland's great men, in gratitude." And so, in 1891, the shy Marya arrived in Paris. Ambitious and self-taught, she had but one obsession: to learn. She passed a physics degree with flying colours, and went on to sit a mathematics degree. It was then that a Polish friend introduced her to Pierre Curie, a young man, shy and introvert. In 1895, this free-thinker, acknowledged for his work on crystallography and magnetism, became her husband. One year previously, he had written to her saying how nice it would be "to spend life side by side, in the sway of our dreams: your patriotic dream, our humanitarian dream and our scientific dream." From the scientific dream... In their experiments, Pierre observed the properties of the radiation while Marie, for her part, purified the radioactive elements. Both shared the same, uncanny tenacity, which was all the more admirable given their deplorable living conditions. Their laboratory was nothing more than a miserable hangar, where in winter the temperature dropped to around six degrees. One chemist commented that "it looked more like a stable or a potato cellar".

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL 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. Mme. Curie, quiet, dignified and unassuming, was held in high esteem and admiration by scientists throughout the world. She was a member of the Conseil du Physique Solvay from 1911 until her death and since 1922 she had been a member of the Committee of Intellectual Co-operation of the League of Nations. Her work is recorded in numerous papers in scientific journals and she is the author of

"Es una extranjera de nombre impronunciable. Se sienta siempre en la primera fila en clase de física". Las miradas de sus condiscípulos la seguían hasta que su grácil figura desaparecía por el extremo del corredor. "Bonito pelo". Su llamativa cabellera, de color rubio cenizo, fue durante mucho tiempo el único rasgo distintivo en la personalidad de aquella tímida extranjera para sus compañeros de la Sorbona. Pero los jóvenes no ocupaban la atención de Marie Sklodowska; su pasión era el estudio de las ciencias. Consideraba perdido cualquier minuto que no dedicara a los libros. Demasiado tímida para hacer amistades entre sus compañeros franceses, se refugió dentro del circulo de sus compatriotas, que formaban una especie de isla polaca en medio del Barrio Latino de París. Incluso allí, su vida se deslizaba con sencillez monástica, consagrada enteramente al estudio. Sus ingresos, algunos ahorros de su trabajo como institutriz en Polonia y cantidades pequeñas que le enviaba su padre, oscuro aunque competente profesor de matemáticas en su país natal, ascendían a cuarenta rublos al mes. Disponía, pues, al cambio, de tres francos diarios para pagar todos sus gastos, inclusive los de sus estudios universitarios.

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.

Curie, Marie, Marie Curie The Granger Collection, New York City MARIA SKLODOWSKA (b. Nov. 7, 1867, Warsaw, Pol., Russian Empired. July 4, 1934, near Sallanches, Fr.), Polish-born French physicist famous for her work on radioactivity and twice a winner of the Nobel Prize. With Henri Becquerel and her husband, Pierre Curie , she was awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics . She was then sole winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize for Chemistry licence of physical sciences in 1893. She began to work in Lippmann's research laboratory and in 1894 was placed second in the licence of mathematical sciences. It was in the spring of this year that she met Pierre Curie. Their marriage (July 25, 1895) marked the start of a partnership that was soon to achieve results of world significance, in particular the discovery of polonium (so called by Marie in honour of her native land) in the summer of 1898, and that of radium a few months later. Following Henri Becquerel's discovery (1896) of a new phenomenon (which she later called "radioactivity"), Marie Curie, looking for a subject for a thesis, decided to find out if the property discovered in uranium was to be found in other matter. She discovered that this was true for thorium at the same time as G.C. Schmidt did. Turning to minerals, her attention was drawn to pitchblende, a mineral whose activity, superior to that of pure uranium, could only be explained by the presence in the ore of small quantities of an unknown substance of very high activity. Pierre Curie then joined her in the work that she had undertaken to resolve this problem and that led to the discovery of the new elements, polonium and radium. While Pierre Curie devoted himself chiefly to the physical study of the new radiations, Marie Curie struggled to obtain pure radium in the metallic stateachieved with the help of the chemist A. Debierne, one of Pierre Curie's pupils. On the results of this research Marie Curie received her doctorate of science in June 1903 and, with Pierre, was awarded the Davy Medal of the Royal Society. Also in 1903 they shared with Becquerel the Nobel Prize for Physics for the discovery of radioactivity.

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.
