Pierre Curie

Marie Curie is an inspiration to many women because of her dedication to scientific discovery that resulted in her being the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. It was, and still is, difficult for women to establish themselves in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) field as related professions have historically been male dominated. However, Marie Curie’s work with radiation and the Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry that followed opened the door of possibilities for women

History- Radon was discovered in 1900 by German Chemist Friedrich Ernst Dorn. Radon was the third radioactive element found after Polonium and Radium. Dorn discovered the element because of an observation made by Marie Curie. Dorn discovered that when radium is released into the air the air becomes radioactive. After observing the gas for a while Dorn discovered that radium produces a gas when it breaks apart. Dorn first called the gas “Radium Emanation”,Emanation meaning something given off. In

periodic table of elements in 1869, scientists have worked to identify the materials that make up the world around us. While many discoveries were made through fairly benign methods, there have been some horrifying deaths along the way. Marie and Pierre Curie’s work with radioactive material killed the married couple. In fact, their notebooks are still so highly contaminated that researchers have chosen to lock them away. There has always been a bit of excitement when a “new” element is discovered

Satrapi shows how femininity and gender ideals was used as an encouragement to support the revolution objectives. The revolutionary leaders needed a motive to make people strongly believe in the revolution, religion and gender was used as the main motive and to strengthen the passion. For instance, in Persepolis, women were depicted as guardians of the nation since they are understood to be the careers of tradition through motherhood. The Islamic regime used the cultural norms and turned women into

Werner and Marie-Laure had a interesting relationship because although, they had not known each other for very long. I feel as though Werner had felt something with Marie that he has never felt before. I think that Werner has always felt out of place, but for a moment he feels at peace. On page 470, he thinks, “I only want to sit here with her for a thousand hours.”This quote also goes along with the fact that Werner always seemed to want to get out of situations or leave situations and I think that

The bombardment of reality triggers one’s mindset to re-evaluate the meticulous findings of life. As a society, we convey an idea towards each other that we anticipate the other will follow. Due to this mindset, various amongst us feel the conventional option is to follow each other and give in to society like dominoes. In the cycle of life there will be inevitably losses and griefs that without a thought will ignite sorrow within us. Not feeling these emotions in a situation where it is acceptable

How did Curie’s research/experiment changed the model of the atomic theory? Marie’s experiment and research had a massive impact on the atomic theory by discovering two new elements that have helped prove the existence of atoms and making the theory of it more believable for people. Her discovery had landed her multiply awards such as nobel prizes etc and Marie work in Chemistry will be remembered for a long time by her making a massive impact on science and help make the other scientist take women

It felt pleasing to be among her things again – the bits of worn, friendly ruins of her past. A favorite book was tenderly caressed; the chandelier her mother gave her glinted in the afternoon light, even the faded sofa was treasured. The effervescence of her feelings somehow imbued the surroundings she’d overlooked to come forward in deep relief. With the knocker firmly back on the door it wasn’t long before invitations began to arrive. Not so many due to the season, although enough to give
