Pierre Curie • Born in Paris, France, Pierre was educated by his father, and in his early teens showed a strong aptitude for mathematics and geometry. • By the age of 18 he had completed the equivalent of a higher degree, but did not proceed immediately to a doctorate due to lack of money. • Instead he worked as a laboratory instructor.• Pierre worked with his wife Marie Curie in isolating polonium and radium. They were the first to use the term “radioactivity“, and were pioneers in its study. • Their work, including Marie's celebrated doctoral work, made use of a sensitive piezoelectric electrometer constructed by Pierre and his brother Jacques.Research • Pierre and one of his students made the first discovery of nuclear energy, by identifying the continuous emission of heat from radium particles.• He also investigated the radiation emissions of radioactive substances, and through the use of magnetic fields was able to show that some of the emissions were positively charged, some were negative and some were neutral. These correspondto alpha, beta and gamma radiation.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_CurieIrène Joliot-Curie•Irene carried on her parents' research into radioactivity, first helping to establish the use of x-rays to diagnose injuries on the battlefield in World War I. •Irene began working at her mother's Radium Institute in 1921.

They both took the name Joliot-Curie. •Together, the two physicists discovered artificial radioactivity. Their experiments found that certain elements became radioactive themselves after being exposed to radioactivity.Irène and Frédéric Joliot Curie in their lab at the Radium Institute, Paris, 1932. •In 1935, Irene and Frederic were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. •In 1937, she became a professor at the Sorbonne in Paris and in 1946 was made director of the Radium Institute. •Irene died in Paris from leukemia [lu:' ki:miə ] 白血病 contracted in the course of her work.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ir%C3%A8ne_Joliot-CurieÈve Curie •Ève Denise Curie Labouisse was a French-American writer, journalist and pianist. •Ève was the only member of her family who did not choose a career as a scientist and did not win a Nobel Prize, although her husband did collect the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965 on behalf of UNICEF. •She worked as a journalist and authored her mother's biography Madame Curie . • From the 1960s she committed herself to work for UNICEF, providing help to children and mothers in developing countries.•After Marie Curie's death, Ève decided to give voice to her love for her by writing her biography. •To this end, she temporarily withdrew from social life and moved to a small flat in Auteuil, Yvelines, where she gathered and sorted out documents and letters left by Marie. Madame Curie•In autumn 1935, she also visited her family in Poland, looking for information about her mother's childhood and youth.•The fruit of this work was the biography Madame Curie.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%88ve_Curie0905010318 卢笑欣 0905010323 庞斯娜0905010325 彭小怡。
