Marie Curie
EditMarie Curie, born Maria Salomea Skłodowska on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw, Poland, was a pioneering physicist and chemist best known for her research on radioactivity—a term she coined. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and remains the only person to receive Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields: Physics and Chemistry. Curie’s revolutionary work in isolating radioactive elements and understanding their properties fundamentally changed the trajectory of modern science and medicine.
