Strange family has a Nobel Prize

Marie Curie was the first female scientist to win the Nobel Prize, and was the first to win the Nobel Prize for two different fields. With Marie Curie's family, the charm with the Nobel prize is strange.

Couple of 3 Nobel prizes

Marie Curie - a genius scientist has a family with lots of debts with the Nobel Prize.

According to the BBC, Maria Salomea Skłodowska (1867-1934) was a famous Polish physicist and chemist. Due to her passion for science since childhood, when she reached adulthood, she came to Paris to study and earn money.

Here, she should be attached to Pierre Curie, a talented scientist - a pioneer in the field of crystallography, magnetism, electrology and radiology. It was Pierre Curie who did (name after marriage) escaping the thought inherent by social prejudice: women cannot do science.

Marie Curie and her husband shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903.

In 1903, she received the Nobel Prize for Physics with her husband for radiation studies. Unfortunately, only 3 years later, Pierre Curie died suddenly due to a traffic accident.

Marie Curie continued her research, and in 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her work on finding two radioactive elements radium and polonium. In it, polonium was named by her to remember her Polish country (Poland).

Continuing the mother's path - 2 Nobel prizes

Irène Curie (right) from a young age has a passion for science as a parent.

According to the Royal British Chemical Council, born in 1897 in Paris was the first child of Marie Curie and Pierre Curie. Born in a scientific "tradition " family, Irène Curie quickly developed the ability to think and nurture a passion for chemistry from an early age.

After graduating from high school, she applied for her mother's assistant at the Radium Institute for Research in Paris.

In 1925, the research team of the mother and daughter had the participation of graduate student Frédéric Joliot from the Collège de France school. Irène Curie and Frédéric Joliot fell in love and became husband and wife.

Irène Curie and her husband studied and won the Nobel, just like their parents before.

Since then, two people have studied the phenomena of natural radioactivity, artificial radioactivity and nuclear physics.

Their findings on the collision of neutron particles into the nucleus of heavy elements are the foundation for the next scientists to find a nuclear separation reaction.

In 1935, the couple won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for works on artificial radiation - the continuation of their mother's work on natural radioactive elements.

The "pagan" son and the Nobel Peace Prize

Her youngest daughter Marie Curie did not follow science but chose to write and socialize.

According to The New York Times, her other child, Eve Curie (1904 - 2007), loved her mother very much but did not pursue her family's scientific path.

Eve Curie likes social studies and likes to write, and later works as a writer, journalist and pianist. After her mother's death, Eve Curie was the writer of a great biography of Marie Curie.

UNICEF won the Nobel Peace Prize during Marie Curie's son-in-law as director.

In 1954, she married Henry Richardson Labouisse (1904-1987), an American diplomat and social activist. He is the director of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) for 4 years 1965-1969.

Unexpectedly, in 1965, UNICEF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for the work of encouraging mutual love between nations. As a director, Marie Curie's son-in-law was honored on behalf of UNICEF to receive this award.

To live by the sword and die by the sword

Due to radioactivity, both mother and daughter Marie Curie and Irène Joliot-Curie suffer from work-related illnesses and died in 1934 and 1956 respectively.

According to the official website of the Nobel Prize, Marie Curie died of bone marrow failure - a disease that causes myeloid cells to lose their ability to heal blood, causing a serious decline in one or all of the three red cells. bridge, white blood cells, platelets.

Meanwhile, Irène Joliot-Curie died due to leukemia. The white blood cells in the body increase dramatically, so they lack serious "food" , leading to eating red blood cells. Since then, red blood cells in the body have been damaged, leading to anemia and death.

Unlike mother and sister, Curie Labouisse Ève lived to 103 years old. In December 2004, when celebrating her 100th birthday, the UN Secretary-General - Mr. Kofi Annan himself - came to congratulate.
