Discovering Radioactivity

Madame Curie's work and discoveries were born of curiosity and relentlessness. She was the recipient of two Nobel Prizes: one for the discovery of radioactivity, and another for adding two new chemical elements to the periodic table. In collaboration with her husband, Pierre Curie, she shattered the shell of the atom and helped open our eyes to the subatomic universe. A master of patience and steady process, Madame Curie took on the task of measuring the intensity of mysterious rays and ultimately delivered a new way of discovering elements.
