The creation, by neutron bombardment of uranium, of the so-called transuraniums is based on the discovery of artificial radioactivity by M. and Mme. Joliot-Curie. Irene Curie was bom in Paris in September, 1897, the elder daughter of M. and Mme. Pierre Curie of honored memory. Both in Poland and in France she had many relatives who were devoting their lives to science, and from her earliest childhood she lived in a scientific atmosphere, among distinguished chemists and physicists. When Irene was less than a year old, her mother discovered the radioactive element polonium, which was destined to play an important part in the later researches of both mother and daughter. A few months later M. and Mme. Curie discovered another element of even greater importance, which they named radium. 

JOLIOT-CURIE. IRENE 11897-195ft. A French nuclear scientist who won the Nohel prize for chemistry with her husband Frederick Joliet-Curie. Their joint work involved production of artiliciul radioactive elements by using t/-rays to bombard boron. They discovered that hydrogen-containing material when exposed to what they considered p rays would emit protons. Tliev were involved in many firsts they gave Ihe first chemical proof of aitillcial transmutation and of capture of alpha particles, and were the firsi to prepare positron emitter. Her career started with a Sc.D. at the Univ ersity of Paris, and included scores of honors and awards. 

Joliot-Curie, Irene (1897-1956) French Nuclear physicist Irene Curie was born in Paris on September 12, 1897, the daughter of the Nobel laureate physicists Pierre and Marie Curie. Growing up in the Curie family, Irene had no doubt that she would follow in her famous parents footsteps. First home-schooled, she finished high school at College Sevigne, an independent school in the center of Paris, and then received a baccalaureat from the same academy in 1914 and a doctorate of science from the Sorbonne in 1925 for her thesis on the alpha rays of polonium. She served in World War I as a nurse radiographer. After the war, she joined her mother as an assistant at the Institute of Radium.
