After working as a governess, she studied in Sorbonne, Paris. She struggled to learn in French, so she studied more and more. She eventually got a degree in physics and finished at the top of her school

According to Merriam Webster, a hero is “a mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability”.

Over one hundred years ago, in 1911, a French-polish woman was awarded not her first but second Nobel Peace Prize. This time for discovering a new element. She was awarded, “"in recognition of her services to the advancement of chemistry by the discovery of the elements radium and polonium, by the isolation of radium and the study of the nature and compounds of this remarkable element." This was and still is a fascinating and remarkable element. Radium has had an intense history of misuse which

How has nuclear medicine innovated science and society? Within the last century, science faced several discoveries that caused the scientific community and society to change one another. When evaluating the scientific discoveries during the twentieth century, the decisive advancements took place in the study of nuclear physics. Affecting both science and society inquires formed around medical uses for nuclear materials. Advanced research in nuclear science with radioisotopes allowed doctors to treat

Piezoelectric Materials The term Piezoelectric is made up of two words ‘Piezo’ and ‘electric’. Piezo is a Greek word which means Pressure thus “Piezoelectric” means electricity produced by Pressure. Pierre Curie and Jacques in 1880 experimented on many crystals such as tourmaline, quartz, topaz, cane sugar and Rochelle salt which shows this phenomenon. These crystals produced electricity (small amount) on small deformation of their body. Later in 1881, it was observed that these crystals can show

talk about two. Christopher Columbus and Marie Curie are too brave and fierce people who followed their dream no matter what. Even though they have their differences they have a lot in common.Both people lived in extreme living quarters and suffered from horrible diseases. These are amazing people who have definitely made their mark on history and our world even to this day. There are many differences between Christopher Columbus and Marie Curie. There are a few that I am going to share with

Richard Curie and Marie Thomas are two physicists from Newfoundland and Labrador. Curie is from Mt. Pearl, while Marie is from Dildo (please note that there is actually a town in Newfoundland and Labrador called Dildo). They both co-wrote a paper on time travel three years ago. Their paper caught the attention theoretical physicist and cosmologist, Stephen Hawking! Curie, Thomas, and Hawking spent the next three years developing a time machine. “It was such an honor to work with Stephen Hawking

Do we need a career role model? “To succeed you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you.” - Tony Dorsett.

INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY   Radiation has been an ever present ingredient in the evolution of life on the Earth. It is not something new, invented by the ingenuity of man in the technological age, it has always been there. INTRODUCTION AND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF RADIATION THERAPY THE DISCOVERY OF ROENTGEN RAYS AND RADIOACTIVITY On Friday, November 8, 1895, while passing an electric current through a Hittorf-Crookes high- vacuum tube, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen noticed a light coming from a workbench

past more accusatory articles appeared in the papers. Langevin’s mother went to court and tried to get custody of his four children. No matter what Marie and Paul did, the scandal kept escalating. There was a front page headline that said “Madame Curie, can she still remain a professor at the
