She was a pioneer in the field of radiation and [[radioactivity]]. Also, she was the first person to win [[Nobel Prize]]s in two different fields, physics (1903) and chemistry (1911). Her French husband, PierreCurie, also studied radioactivity. In addition to that he also was a pioneer in the fields of [[crystallography]], [[magnetism]] and [[piezoelectricity]]. Marie Curie discovered two elements, previously unknown, both radioactive. One of them she named [[Polonium]] in honor of her native [[Poland]], the other, [[Radium]]. The ''[[Curie]],'' a unit of radioactivity, is named in her honour, as is the chemical element [[Curium]].
