Marie Curie was born on November 7, 1867 in the Russian part of Poland. She was the youngest child of five children and the daughter of five famous teachers. He left Poland in 1891 for France and studied physics, mathematics and chemistry at the University of Paris. In 1993, he received his bachelor's degree in physics and began working in an industrial laboratory, although he was still studying at the University of Paris, and eventually earned a second degree in 1894. Curie Fist studied the magnetic properties of various steels. It was then that he met Pierre Curie, who was a teacher at the School of Physics and Chemistry. Their mutual love of science brought them together. In 1895, Wilhelm Roentgen discovered X-rays, and in 1996 Henri Becquerel discovered that uranium salts emitted rays that resembled X-rays. Curie decided to pursue uranium rays as a possible field of research for a thesis. Using Pierre's electrometer, he discovered that the air around the uranium samples conducted electricity. His first result was the discovery that the activity of uranium compounds depended only on the amount of...
