Marie Sklodowska Curie died of aplastic anemia, a type of leukemia, in July 1934. She was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1903 for her co-discovery of radioactivity, and again for chemistry in 1911, for her discovery of new elements radium and polonium. Her oldest daughter, Irene Joliot-Curie, followed in her steps and also directed her talents toward science. She spent many years alongside her mother in the laboratory. She also worked as Marie's radiological assistant on the front lines during World War I, exposing doctors to the benefit of X-ray technology and pioneering the development of mobile X-ray units. Irene died of leukemia in March 1956. She won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1935 for the co-discovery of artificial radioactivity. Her discovery would ultimately be used as a cure for the diseases from which both she and he mother died, their occupational hazard. Irene established a name for herself at her mother's Radium Institute in France for studies of polonium. Her mother had taught her how to prepare and purify polonium, and she learned how to design and construct various adaptations of the lightweight bases needed to hold minuscule, strongly radioactive deposits, Her first paper, concerning the speed of the alpha rays of polonium, was published in 1922. She would bombard a screen of matter with alpha rays, then study the target through a microscope, concentrating on alpha rays colliding with the atoms of the screen, counting the flashes and noting down where they hit. She went on to publish another paper on the rays' distribution - which Marie personally sent to Albert Einstein - and their magnetic deviation, all of which contributed to her doctoral thesis. She turned down all offers of teaching positions to continue her studies in polonium, and to continue as her mother's personal assistant.

Irene Joliot-Curie Irene was the daughter of Marie and Pierre Curie. She carried on her parents' research into radioactivity, first helping to establish the use of x-rays to diagnose injuries on the battlefield in World War I. Irene began working at her mother's Radium Institute in 1921. She married Frederic Joliot, a pupil of her mother's, in 1926. They both took the name Joliot-Curie. Together, the two physicists discovered artificial radioactivity. Their experiments found that certain elements became radioactive themselves after being exposed to radioactivity. Irene and Frederic were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1935. Irene became a professor at the Sorbonne in Paris in 1937 and in 1946 was made director of the Radium Institute.

Women Pioneers in Science Irene Joliot-Curie France: 1897 - 1956 Discovered Artificial Radioactivity 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Director of the Radium Institute As the oldest daughter of Marie and Pierre Curie, it is no surprise that Irene would exhibit an early interest in science. Unlike other young girls of this time, Irene's interest was considered by her parents to be completely normal. It was expected that she should pursue an advanced degree in science. Accordingly, Irene attended the University of Paris, where she graduated with a doctorate in physics. After graduation, Irene began work with her mother at the Radium Institute. There she met her future husband, Frederic Joliot and they married in 1926, adopting the combined name of Joliot-Curie. They would work together as a team until the German occupation of France during World War II. In 1933, they made the discovery that radioactive elements can be artificially produced from stable elements. This was done by exposing aluminum foil to alpha particles. When the radioactive source was removed, the Joliot-Curies discovered that the aluminum had become radioactive. This discovery had far reaching applications - especially in medicine. Other isotopes were soon discovered, including a radioactive form of iodine, which was used to treat thyroid diseases. Because their discovery proved that radioactive isotopes could be made relatively inexpensively, the difficult task of separating naturally occurring radioactive isotopes from their ores (which her mother, Marie, had labored long to do) was no longer necessary. This discovery greatly advanced the development of nuclear physics.

In 1914, she graduated from the College Sevigne in Gagny and went on to attend the University of Paris. That same year World War I required her to leave her studies temporarily to serve as a nurse radiographer until 1917. In 1918, Curie returned to the University of Paris and she received her Ph.D. in 1925 for her research on alpha particles. Curie and Jean Frederic Joliot met while working with her mother at the Radium Institute and were married in 1926. The couple worked together studying natural and artificial radioactivity and the transmutation of elements. Irene Curie's accomplishments and contributions to the advancement of nuclear physics were enormous. In 1934, the Joliot-Curie team generated the first artificial radioactivity from stable elements. By using alpha particles to bombard aluminum foil and boron in separate experiments, they produced a radioactive phosphorous from the aluminum and a radioactive form of nitrogen from the boron. For this work the husband and wife team were jointly awarded the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "in recognition of their synthesis of new radioactive elements."

In 1925, Joliot worked as an assistant to Marie Curie at the Radium Institute of Paris. Joliot met Marie Curie's daughter, Irene, while working at the institute and married her in 1926. Joliot received his Doctor of Science degree in 1930 for his research in electrochemistry and radioactive elements. Joliot and his wife collaborated in the study of atomic nucleus projection and in other fields of nuclear physics. The Joliot-Curie team made a monumental discovery in 1934 when they produced the first artificial radioactive elements. Using alpha particles they bombarded boron, magnesium, and aluminum and created artificial elements. This discovery earned the Joliot-Curie team the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for their synthesis of new radioactive elements." The Joliot-Curie contributions were extremely important to the advancement of nuclear physics and contributed to the development of the first atomic bomb. Joliot went on to research atomic pile construction using uranium and heavy water, for which he earned five patents between 1939 and 1940. His involvement in the Resistance during the Nazi occupation of France in World War II led Joliot to become President of the National Front and to establish the French Communist party. Frederic Joliot was appointed the first High Commissioner for Atomic Energy in 1946. In 1948, he directed the construction of France's first atomic pile with the help of his wife.

In investigating the emission of positrons from aluminum struck by alpha particles, they observed that the target stayed active after the bombardment stopped. It was a great surprise. Everyone had tacitly assumed that the explosion of a nucleus followed immediately on its swallowing an energetic particle, and had arranged his experimental practice to suit. At the Rad Lab belief that residual activity does not exist affected operations. (The preceding information was excerpted from the text of the Fall 1981 issue of LBL Newsmagazine.)

Click on the links below to read about some influential female chemists: Marie Curie Gertrude Elion Rosalind Franklin Dorothy Hodgkin ... Irene Joliot-Curie Chemistry is the scientific study of substances. Chemists investigate the properties (characteristics) of the substances that make up the universe. They study how those substances behave under different conditions. They attempt to explain the behavior of a substance in terms of the substance's structure and composition. Chemists also seek to understand chemical changes. Chemical changes involve alterations in a substance's chemical makeup. The combination of iron with oxygen from the air to form rust is a chemical change. Substances may also go through physical change without altering their chemical makeup. Water changes physically but not chemically when it freezes. Chemists have learned much about the chemical substances and processes that occur in nature. In addition, chemical researchers have created many useful substances that do not occur naturally. Products resulting from chemical research include many artificial fibers, drugs, dyes, fertilizers, and plastics. The knowledge gained by chemists and the materials they have produced have greatly improved people's lives. Marie Sklodowska Curie Marie Sklodowska Curie (1867-1934) was a French physicist who became famous for her research on radioactivity. She received two Nobel Prizes one in physics and one in chemistry. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize.

MARIE CURIE G anadora de dos premios nobel (Física y Química) Su vida Marja Sklodowska (de soltera), nació en Varsovia el 7 de noviembre de 1867, fue la quinta hija del matrimonio de Ladislas Sklodowski, profesor de física y matemáticas de liceo, y de Bronislawa Boguska, quien era maestra, pianista y cantante. Desde muy temprana edad, Marja demostró poseer una excelente memoria y una gran capacidad de estudio, era amante de la lectura, la historia natural y la física. Aunque su niñez se vio quebrada a los 11 años, cuando muere su madre a causa de la tuberculosis. Sin embargo, este duro golpe no mermó en ella su ánimo por estudiar. A pesar de sus ganas de continuar estudiando, la precaria condición económica de su familia no se lo permite, pues en esa época su padre está concentrado en costear los estudios de medicina de su hermana Bronislawa en París; a esto se agregaba el hecho de que en aquel tiempo la universidad de Varsovia no admitía mujeres. Cuando en 1891 su hermana Bronislawa se gradúa, Marie se traslada a París para incorporarse al curso de ciencias en la Universidad de la Sorborne. Vive en una pequeña habitación alquilada y dedica todo su esfuerzo a terminar sus estudios en el menor tiempo posibl. Dos años más tarde, finalizó sus estudios obteniendo el grado de Licenciada en Física, y un año más tarde el de Licenciada en Matemáticas. En esta época, consigue un trabajo como asistente en un laboratorio, en donde conoce a Pierre Curie, quien con sus 35 años ya era considerado una luz de esperanza para la física francesa.
