French radiochemist and physicist. 1867165438+1was born in Warsaw, Poland on October 7th. Her original name was Mary Skoro Dovska. Later, she married the French scientist pierre curie, so she was called Madame Curie. 1883 graduated from high school with excellent results and won the gold medal. At that time, Polish universities did not accept female students, so the family was in financial difficulties, so I worked as a tutor in Warsaw for 8 years, and went to France to study at universities in 189 1 year. 1893 received a bachelor's degree in physics from the Faculty of Science of Paris University, and a bachelor's degree in mathematics the following year. 1895 married French physicist Curie and worked as a teaching assistant at the Paris Institute of Physics and Chemistry. 1896 won the first place in the city's teaching assistant examination. 1903, the thesis "research on radioactive substances" received a doctorate. From 65438 to 0904, he was a teacher at the University of Paris. 1906, her husband Curie died in a car accident. She succeeded her husband as the first female professor at the University of Paris and the first female academician of the French Academy of Sciences. Her main contribution is to study radioactive elements all her life, and she is the founder of radioactive chemistry and physics. Because becquerel discovered the radioactivity of uranium and its compounds, Curie scanned the compounds of 80 elements known at that time with an electroscope, and found that polonium compounds were also radioactive, and uranium compounds were more radioactive than pure uranium, thus inferring that there must be new radioactive elements stronger than uranium. 1898, the curies first separated telluride-like elements predicted by Mendeleev from asphalt mines, and Madame Curie named them polonium to commemorate her great motherland Poland. Then they made persistent efforts and treated dozens of tons of asphalt slag for four years. Finally, they extracted 0. 1g of radium chloride and determined that radium is a new element. Madame Curie is an outstanding female scientist. She won two Nobel Prizes in her life-1903 physics prize and191chemistry prize. He has held 106 honorary positions in 25 countries, such as the Royal Society and the German Chemical Society. Won 24 awards and medals from 7 countries. Her main works include isotopes and their compositions, radioactivity, radioactive substances and their radiation.
