Marie and Irene Curie, and their husbands, Pierre Curie and Frederic Joliot. Marie Curie (1867-1934) was born Maria Sklodowska in Warsaw, Poland, then a part of the Russian empire. In 1891 she emigrated to Paris to study at the Sorbonne, where she met and married a French physicist, Pierre Curie (1859-1906). The Curies were associates of Henri Becquerel, the man who discovered that uranium salts are radioactive. They showed that thorium, like uranium, is radioactive and that the amount of radiation emitted is directly proportional to the amount of uranium or thorium in the sample. 

In 1921, Irene Curie (1897-1956) began research at the Radium Institute. Five years later she married Frederic Joliot (1900-1958). a brilliant young physicist who was also an assistant at the Institute. In 1931, they began a research program in nuclear chemistry that led to several important discoveries and at least one near miss. The Joliot-Curies were the first to demonstrate induced radioactivity. They also discovered the positron, a particle that scientists had been seeking for many years. They narrowly missed finding another, more fundamental particle, the neutron. That honor went to James Chadwick in England. In 1935,... 

Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot received the Nobel Prize in physics. The award came too late for Irene s mother, who had died of leukemia in 1934. Twenty-two years later. Irene Curie-Joliot died of the same disease. Both women acquired leukemia through prolonged exposure to radiation.

M. and Mme. Joliot-Curie made further studies on the gamma-radiation of ionium, on chain reactions, and on neutrons and artificial radioactivity. The elements discovered with the aid of this new science will be discussed in Part 31. Mme. Joliot Curie died in Paris on March 17,1956 (136) after distinguished service to France. Frederic Joliot-Curie died in Paris on August 14,1958.

Fifteen years after Rutherford s transmutation of nitrogen, an equally if not more significant experiment was conducted successfully by Frederic and Irene Curie Joliot. They bombarded boron with alpha particles and produced nitrogen in a manner shown by the following reaction ... 

This was initiated by the first description of the atom structure in 1913 by Ernest Rutherford, a British scientist and Niels Bohr, a Danish scientist. Then came the discovery of the neutron in 1932 by James Chadwick (a British student of Rutherford), the discovery of artificial radioactivity by Irene and Frederic Joliot Curie (Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1935) and finally the discovery of fission in 1938 by Lise Meitner, Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman (German scientists) which brought Hahn the Nobel Prize for physics in 1944. 

Sometimes the nucleus can be changed by bombarding it with another type of particle. This is referred to as induced radioactivity. In 1934, Irene Curie, the daughter of Pierre and Marie Curie, and her husband, Frederic Joliot, announced the first synthesis of an artificial radioactive isotope. They bombarded a thin piece of aluminum foil with ot-particles produced by the decay of polonium and found that the aluminum target became radioactive. Chemical analysis showed that the product of this reaction was an isotope of phosphorus.

The first artificial radionuclide, °P, was produced in 1934 by Frederic and Irene Joliot-Curie (daughter and son-in-law of Maria Sklodowska-Curie) by bombarding aluminium with protons in an accelerator [4]. Today, more than 2000 artificial radionuclides have been produced and identified, especially after the discovery and use of nuclear fission of uranium U and plutonium Pu.

Marie (Marya Sklodowska) Curie (1867-1934). Polish-born chemist and physicist. In 1903 she and her French husband, Pierre Curie, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on radioactivity. In 1911, she again received the Nobel prize, this time in chemistry, for her work on the radioactive elements radium and polonium. She is one of only three people to have received two Nobel prizes in science. Despite her great contribution to science, her nomination to the French Academy of Sciences in 1911 was rejected by one vote because she was a woman Her daughter Irene, and son-in-law Frederic Joliot-Curie, shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935.
