Theory of Radioactivity
Marie Skłodowska Curie, the pioneering Polish physicist and chemist, was instrumental in the discovery of radioactivity, a term she coined. Her groundbreaking research on radioactive elements, for which she won two Nobel Prizes, opened new paths in science, leading to the development of X-ray technology, nuclear energy, and cancer treatments. Curie’s work not only changed the face of modern medicine and physics but also paved the way for women in science, breaking barriers in a male-dominated field and inspiring generations to come.
