Mother of radioactivity













Okay, i’m the new guy here, let’s going to started with a short biography about a person than I admire, this person going to be Marie Curie, the mother of radioactivity.


Marie Curie was born in Warsaw, in the Russian partition of Poland, on 7 November 1867, she start her investigation about the radioactivity with Pierre studying the uranium in form of pitchblende, that is curiously more radioactive than the pure uranium, also the investigate the radioactivity of thorium too in form of pitchblende, the conclusion was that the pitchblende contain another types of elements more radioactive that they be able to separate of the solution.


In December 1903, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded Pierre Curie, Marie Curie and Henri Becquerel the Nobel Prize in Physics, "in recognition of the extraordinary services they have rendered by their joint researches on the radiation phenomena discovered by Professor Henri Becquerel."


She dies the spring of 1934 in France, she left us a legacy with their investigation about the radioactivity.
