- Marie Curie and Irène Curie on radium - Radium Discovery, Chemistry . . .
The new method used by P Curie and Mme Curie for the discovery of polonium and radium—chemical analysis controlled by measurements of radioactivity—has become fundamental for the chemistry of radioelements; it has served since for the discovery of many other radioactive substances
- Marie Curie - Wikipedia
In 1915, Curie produced hollow needles containing "radium emanation", a colourless, radioactive gas given off by radium, later identified as radon, to be used for sterilising infected tissue
- Marie and Pierre Curie and the discovery of polonium and radium
Chemists considered that the discovery and isolation of radium was the greatest event in chemistry since the discovery of oxygen That for the first time in history it could be shown that an element could be transmuted into another element, revolutionized chemistry and signified a new epoch
- The Revolutionary who Discovered Radium - Circulating Now from the NLM . . .
Curie was not aware of the dangerous potential of radium; she died 80 years ago tomorrow, on July 4, 1934, from aplastic anemia contracted from radium exposure
- The Curies and the Discovery of Radium - Google Arts Culture
Thanks to the Curie method, Marie and Pierre Curie were soon able to demonstrate that other minerals emit the same type of invisible rays as uranium They discovered two new elements: polonium

The Curies isolated radium and confirmed its existence by March 1902, along with another element named polonium, honoring Marie's homeland Their groundbreaking work earned them the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, making Marie the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize
- 9. 2: The Discovery of Radioactivity - Chemistry LibreTexts
The Curies and Radium One of Becquerel's assistants, a young Polish scientist named Maria Sklowdowska (to become Marie Curie after she married Pierre Curie), became interested in the phenomenon of radioactivity With her husband, she decided to find out if chemicals other than uranium were radioactive
- Marie Curie - The person who discovered radium and polonium
Chris Packham explains how Marie Curie’s discovery of polonium and radium changed atomic theory and how her study of radioactivity helped doctors use X-rays to save thousands of lives
