Discovery of radium by the Curies, as depicted on the cover of the illustrated literary supplement of the French newspaper 'Le Petit Parisien' for the issue of 10 January 1904. French physicist Pierre Curie (1867-1906) and French-Polish physicist and chemist Marie Curie (1867-1934) married in 1895. The Curies worked together on radioactive materials in their Paris laboratory, and in 1898 they discovered two new elements, polonium and radium. By 1902, they had a tenth of a gram of radium, not fully isolated until 1910 by Marie. Both were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics (1903), with Marie also receiving the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1911).
