Marie Curie-Skolodowska with Pierre Curie
Undated picture showing Marie Curie-Skolodowska with Pierre Curie, working in their laboratory in Paris. Marie Curie and her husband, the French physicist, Pierre Curie, were the discoverers of radium and won the Nobel prize for physics in 1903. Pierre Curie was born in Paris 15 May 1859 and his most important contributions to physics was the discovery that the magnetic properties of substances change at certain temperature, known as the " Curie point." He became known for his work on radioactivity carried out jointly with his wife Marja (Marie) Sklodowska (born in Warsaw 07 November 1867) whom he married in 1895. On 18 July 1898, they announced the discovery of two new elements in the mineral uranium, polonium and radium. The work of the Curie couple laid the foundation for much of the later research in nuclear physics and chemistry. Marie Curie was the first person to receive two Nobel prizes when she was awarded the Nobel prize for chemistry in 1911. / AFP PHOTO / -

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brilliant minds of Marie Curie-Skolodowska and Pierre Curie as they immerse themselves in their groundbreaking research. Taken in their laboratory in Paris, this undated picture showcases the couple who revolutionized the field of physics with their discovery of radium. Marie Curie, born in Warsaw on November 7th, 1867, married Pierre Curie in 1895. Together, they embarked on a scientific journey that would change the course of history. On July 18th, 1898, they astounded the world by announcing the discovery of two new elements - polonium and radium - found within uranium minerals. Pierre Curie's significant contribution to physics was his revelation that substances' magnetic properties alter at specific temperatures known as the "Curie point". This breakthrough solidified his reputation as a distinguished physicist. However, it was through their joint work on radioactivity that both Marie and Pierre left an indelible mark on science. Their tireless efforts laid the foundation for future advancements in nuclear physics and chemistry. Their pioneering research not only earned them international recognition but also led to them being awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903. Remarkably, Marie Curie went on to become the first person ever to receive two Nobel Prizes when she was honored with another prestigious accolade for her contributions to chemistry in 1911. This AFP photo beautifully encapsulates a moment frozen in time - a testament to love, dedication, and intellectual brilliance shared between two remarkable individuals whose discoveries continue to shape our understanding of science today.
