Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Marie Curie, a Polish-French chemist
Marie Curie, a Polish-French chemist, born in Warsaw in 1867 and died in France in 1934. Curie worked on radioactivity, a term she coined to describe the rays given off by uranium. Her research coincided with that of Rutherfords and Becquerels in showing that there were three different types of radioactivity: alpha, beta and gamma. In 1903 she won the Nobel Prize for physics with her husband Pierre for their studies in radioactive radiations. In 1911 she won the Nobel Prize for the second time, in chemistry, for the discovery of two new elements, radium and polonium. She died in 1934 of leukaemia caused by the overexposure to radioactive radiation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Marie Curie, a Polish-French chemist whose groundbreaking contributions to science continue to inspire generations. Born in Warsaw in 1867 and passing away in France in 1934, Curie's legacy is one of immense significance. Renowned for her pioneering work on radioactivity, a term she herself coined to describe the rays emitted by uranium, Curie's research paralleled that of esteemed scientists Rutherford and Becquerel. Together, they revealed the existence of three distinct types of radioactivity: alpha, beta, and gamma. In recognition of her extraordinary achievements alongside her husband Pierre, Marie Curie was honored with the Nobel Prize for physics in 1903. This prestigious accolade celebrated their profound studies on radioactive radiations. Not content with just one triumph, she went on to secure another Nobel Prize in chemistry eight years later (1911). This time it was awarded for her discovery of two new elements: radium and polonium. Tragically, Marie Curie's relentless pursuit of knowledge came at great personal cost as she succumbed to leukemia caused by overexposure to radioactive radiation. Nevertheless, her indomitable spirit lives on through these powerful portraits captured by Science Photo Library. Marie Curie remains an iconic figure as both a Nobel laureate and discoverer extraordinaire who forever changed our understanding of the world around us with unwavering dedication and unparalleled brilliance.
