英语词汇curie的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

curie. Several words honor the husband and wife co- discoverers of radium, whose work laid the foundation for much later research in nuclear physics. The Curie point—the tempera- ture at which the magnetic properties of a substance change— had been named for Pierre Curie (1859–1906) before he mar- ried Manya Sklodowska in 1895. He and Madame Curie, who came from Poland to study at the Sorbonne, worked together to extract from pitchblende the twin radioactive elements polo- nium and radium in 1898, the former being named for Mme. Curie’s native country. Marie Curie’s name has become more widely known than her husband’s; it was she who first suspected the presence of new elements in pitchblende, and she was a pio- neer woman scientist as well. But the curie or curiegram—a unit of measurement for radioactivity—was named for both scien- tists in 1910, as was the radioactive element curium when dis- covered by Glenn Seaborg and his co-workers at the University of California in 1945. Both Curies shared a nobel prize in 1903 for their discovery of radioactivity; Madame Curie received a second Nobel Prize, in 1911, for the discovery of radium. Their daughter, Irène Joliot-Curie, shared a Nobel Prize in chemistry with her husband in 1935. See polonium.
