Biography
Scientific discoveries
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 our 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
Marie later 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 later transferred to the Panthéon.[3]
Legacy
Her discovered element, Polonium, was later used as a lethal poison for assassination attempts in modern times.[2]
