Marie is the first woman who has received two Nobel Prizes in both Physics and Chemistry. Curie came upon the fact that radiation is not stimulated by interaction between the molecules, and simply from the atoms themselves. In 1898, she and her husband published a paper declaring the presence of a new element called polonium. They also declared the existence of one more element, radium, aptly named after its acute radioactivity. She and her husband have also been recognized for their work by the Royal Society in 1903 that bestowed them with the Davy Medal, and in 1921, President Harding of the United States, from the side of of the women of America, presented Marie with a gram of radium for the tremendous contribution in the field of science.

Throughout her career, she was open to so many radioactive material, she developed aplastic anemia which resulted in her death in 1934. The United Nations have announced the year 2011 as the International Year of Chemistry keeping in view her achievements and contributions.
