She conducted research on radioactivity. Curie was the first woman ever to win a Nobel Prize and the only person to win one twice for two different sciences. Also she was the first woman to be a professor at the University of Paris. Now Marie was part of the family line of Nobel prizes. Altogether, the Curies now hold five Nobel Prizes.

This however, was very unlikely because of the time she lived in as a young adult. So she went to go live with her sister in Paris who was attending a university in medicine. Then Marie enrolled in classes in Physics. Also she wanted to find a laboratory to research different metals. At this time she met her husband Pierre Curie. In 1895 Marie and Pierre got married,now beginning one of the most extraordinary partnership in scientific work. Later in 1897, Curie's scientific achievements were two university degrees, a fellowship (a scholarship), and a monograph (published paper) on the magnetization of tempered steel. Also the couples first child was born her name was Irène Curie. It was then that the Curies turned their attention to the mysterious radiation from uranium recently discovered by Antoine Henri
