Marie Curie - Biography
Curie: The Life and Scientific Legacy of the Great Pioneer of RadioactivityMaria (November 7, 1867 - July 4, 1934) was a name that became a symbol of scientific achievements and outstanding contributions to the development of physics and chemistry. She was the first female scientist to be awarded the Nobel Prize and the only person to have been a Nobel laureate in two different scientific disciplines. In this biography, we look at key moments in her life, her scientific research, the impact on world science and her contributions to the fight against cancer.
Maria Skłodowska was born in Warsaw, which was part of the Russian Empire at the time and under Polish rule. She grew up in a family of educated parents and developed an early interest in science and education. Her childhood was marked by difficulties, but she was able to get an education in Paris, where she began her scientific career.
Maria became famous for her research in the field of radioactivity. She and her husband Pierre examined radioactive elements such as radium and polonium and developed methods to measure radioactivity. These discoveries have led to the creation of new methods for treating cancer and diagnosing diseases.
In 1903, Marie Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, and in 1911 she received the second Nobel Prize, already in chemistry, for her research in the field of radioactivity. Her work changed the idea of the nature of the atom and how to study it.
After World War I, Maria actively participated in the organization of medical trains providing X-ray machines for the diagnosis and treatment of wounded soldiers. Her efforts have contributed to the fight against cancer and other diseases.
