Marie Salomea Skłodowska-Curie (1867 – 1934), known simply as Marie Curie, was a Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Scientific discoveries[edit | edit source]
Marie Curie's key discoveries include the isolation of radium in 1902 and the discovery of polonium in 1898,[1] both of which significantly advanced society's understanding of radioactivity and its applications in science and medicine. For which she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry at the 1911 Nobel Prize Awards.[2]
Death[edit | edit source]
Marie died on 4 July 1934 due to long-term exposure to radiation,[2] and was later buried in the cemetery at Sceaux alongside her husband, Pierre Curie.[1] Sixty years later in 1995,[1] they were both transferred to the Panthéon in Paris.[3]
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Marie's discovered element, Polonium, has been used as a lethal poison for assassination attempts in modern times.[2]
In November 2013, Abstergo Entertainment employee Kama Neron discussed potential settings for the company's future projects in an email chain started by their Chief Creative Officer, Olivier Garneau. As Neron abhorred violence, they suggested focusing on moments in history that reflected people's ingenuity, like Marie Curie working in France. However, Abstergo had yet to locate a descendant of Curie or one of her colleagues, and Neron's idea was ultimately shut down by Evan Dean, who did not believe it was an interesting enough prospect.[4]
