Marie Curie was a physicist and chemist best known for her work on radioactivity; however, she also discovered the elements polonium and radium. She was awarded two Nobel Prizes " one in physics which she won jointly with her husband and Henri Becquerel, and another in chemistry " and was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes. She is still one of only two (along with Linus Pauling) to accomplish that feat. Curie is responsible for establishing the theory of radioactivity, but unfortunately she unwittingly also discovered the fatal effect radioactivity can have on your health; she died on July 4, 1934, of aplastic anemia caused by radiation exposure.

She discovered radioactive element i.e. Radium in 1898.

He is the great scientist of world so I say thanks marie curie.

In her family most of the members are got nobel prizes.

Radium is a chemical element with symbol Ra and atomic number 88. It is the sixth element in group 2 of the periodic table, also known as the alkaline earth metals. The color of pure radium is almost pure white, but it readily oxidizes on exposure to air, becoming black in color.

Curie died in 1934 at the sanatorium of Sancellemoz (Haute-Savoie) , France, due to a plastic anemia brought on by exposure to radiation including carrying test tubes of radium in her pockets during research and her World War I service in mobile X-ray units created by her.

LONG LIVE Marie Curie.

Marry curie first discovered the medicine for cancer.

Radium, in the form of radium chloride, was discovered by Marie Curie and Pierre Curie in 1898. They extracted the radium compound from uraninite and published the discovery at the French Academy of Sciences five days later.

She died by researching about radium by cancer.

Radium was discovered by Marie Sklodowska-Curie and her husband Pierre Curie on 21 December 1898, in a uraninite sample.
