Marie and Pierre Curie are awarded Nobel Prize for their work with radium
On December 10, , Marie and Pierre Curie are awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics for their groundbreaking investigations of radioactivity, sharing the prize with French forskare A. Henri Becquerel. The year before, the couple had successfully isolated radioactive radium salts from the mineral pitchblende in their laboratory in Paris. In , the Curies discovered the existence of the elements radium and polonium in their research of pitchblende.
