	Pierre Curie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pierre Curie (May 15, 1859, Paris – April 19, 1906, Paris) was a French physicist and a pioneer in the study of crystallography, magnetism, piezoelectricity and radioactivity.
		Pierre Curie studied ferromagnetism, paramagnetism, and diamagnetism for his doctoral thesis, and discovered the effect of temperature on paramagnetism which is now known as Curie's law.
		Pierre and one of his students made the first discovery of nuclear energy, by identifying the continuous emission of heat from radium particles.

		Marie Curie (Polish Maria Skłodowska-Curie, November 7, 1867 – July 4, 1934) was a Polish chemist, pioneer in the early field of radiology and a two-time Nobel laureate.
		Together with Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, 1903: "in recognition of the extraordinary services they have rendered by their joint researches on the radiation phenomena discovered by Professor Henri Becquerel".
		In 1995, Madame Curie was the first woman laid to rest under the famous dome of The Panthéon in Paris on her own merits (alongside her husband Pierre Curie).

		Pierre Curie’s early work dealt with crystallography and with the effects of temperature on magnetism; he discovered (1883) and, with his brother Jacques Curie, investigated piezoelectricity (a form of electric polarity) in crystals.
		In 1895 she married Pierre Curie and engaged in independent research in his laboratory at the municipal school of physics and chemistry where Pierre was director of laboratories (from 1882) and professor (from 1895).
		She was made director of the laboratory of radioactivity at the Curie Institute of Radium, established jointly by the Univ. of Paris and the Pasteur Institute, for research on radioactivity and for radium therapy.

	Marie Curie
		Pierre Curie then joined her in the work that she had undertaken to resolve this problem and that led to the discovery of the new elements, polonium and radium.
		The sudden death of Pierre Curie (April 19, 1906) was a bitter blow to Marie Curie, but it was also a decisive turning point in her career: henceforth she was to devote all her energy to completing alone the scientific work that they had undertaken.
		Marie Curie, now at the highest point of her fame, and, from 1922, a member of the Academy of Medicine, devoted her researches to the study of the chemistry of radioactive substances and the medical applications of these substances.

		Pierre and Marie Curie are best known for their pioneering work in the study of radioactivity, which led to their discovery in 1898 of the elements radium and polonium.
		In 1903, Marie Curie obtained her doctorate for a thesis on radioactive substances, and with her husband and Henri Becquerel she won the Nobel Prize for physics for the joint discovery of radioactivity.
		The work of Marie and Pierre Curie, which by its nature dealt with changes in the atomic nucleus, led the way toward the modern understanding of the atom as an entity that can be split to release enormous energy.

		Marie and Pierre Curie and the Discovery of Polonium and Radium
		Marie and Pierre Curie's pioneering research was again brought to mind when on April 20 1995, their bodies were taken from their place of burial at Sceaux, just outside Paris, and in a solemn ceremony were laid to rest under the mighty dome of the Panthéon.
		Pierre had managed to arrange that Marie should be allowed to work in the school's laboratory, and in 1897, she concluded a number of investigations into the magnetic properties of steel on behalf of an industrial association.

		She has analyzed the Curies specifically as a research team, whose strengths and limits in the study of radioactivity were due to a complex complementarily, involving differing modes of thought, personalities, scientific styles and levels of commitment to physics and chemistry.
		Pierre was non-competitive, which may have inhibited his rise to scientific eminence, but at the same time freed him to collaborate with Marie on equal terms, sharing both work and credit.
		Pierre was intellectually restless; Marie was intellectually broad, but persistent and capable of immersing herself in the study of radioactivity from 1897 through her death.

		By the time Pierre was 21 and Jacques 24, the brothers had discovered the piezoelectric effect (from the Greek word meaning “to press”).
		After their discovery of polonium and radium, the Curies decided on a division of labor: he concentrated on investigating the properties of radium, while she did chemical experiments with a view to preparing pure compounds.
		Marie Curie never forgave France for what she considered its rude treatment of her husband--the failure to give him either the honors or the laboratory facilities he merited.

		Later, Pierre was able to formulate the principle of symmetry, which states the impossibility of bringing about a specific physical process in an environment lacking a certain minimal dissymmetry characteristic of the process.
		In 1903 Pierre Curie was also awarded the Davy Medal of the Royal Society of London and appointed professor of physics at the University of Parisin 1904, and in 1905 he was elected to the French Academy of Sciences.
		Pierre Curie's work is recorded in numerous publications in the Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences, the Journal de Physique and the Annales de Physique et Chimie.

		Curie later studied magnetism, showing that the magnetic properties of a given substance of a given substance change at a certain temperature; that temperature is now known as the Curie point.
		Curie's studies of radioactive substances were made together with his wife Marie, also a professor at the Sorbonne, whom he married in 1895.

		It was while she was in Paris that she met and shared lab space with one Pierre Curie, her future husband and collaborator.
		Pierre's father moved in to help with Irène, and Marie found her imagination fired by the field of radiation research, only just then discovered by Henri Becquerel and Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen.
		Working in the lab she shared with Pierre, she soon discovered that the level of radiation emitted depended only on the quantity of the Uranium contained in a compound, and not on the types of other elements that the compound contained.
