Today (April 19, 1906) is the Memorial Day of Nobel Prize-winning Pierre Curie, pioneer of the Radium Radiation Invention for the Treatment of Stress and Cancer.
Pierre Curie was born on May 15, 1859, in Paris. His father was Sophie Claire Debouille Currie, the mother of Dr Eugene Currie. His father worked as a welfare physician. Youth education began at home for Pierre Curie. His mathematical interest was manifested at the age of 14. At the age of 16, he entered university. At 18, he earned a bachelor's degree in the United States. But due to a lack of finances, it is not possible to perform such worthy tasks. He could only serve as a low-paid lab assistant.
He was involved in the first
important scientific study with his brother, Jacques. At the time, Pierre's age
was 21. His brother's age was 24. They discovered the piezoelectric effect.
That is, when they exert pressure on certain crystals, they exhibit voltage.
Instead, putting them in the electric field puts them under pressure. The
fundamental properties of both of these functions helped to improve the laws of
physics.
The Curie brothers developed
the Fuso-electric quartz electrometer when they discovered the principle of
pressure electrolysis. Twenty years later the term was used for the early
studies of Marie Curie. This theory was later applied to microphones, quartz
watches and batteries. Before graduating, he created a Torsion Balance to
detect magnetic properties. He received his doctorate of studies on objects
that are severely damaged by magnetism and partially affected by magnetism. The
law is known today as the "Curie law" was his invention of the transformation
of paramagnetic materials into heat.
He also found that iron
temperatures would lose their magnetism when the temperature was too high. This
temperature is called Curie Point. Marie Curie married him in 1895 when she met
him for some research. Together with Spouse Marie Curie, they tried to isolate
elements such as polonium and radium. The two first coined the term
"radioactivity". They also excelled in their study. Pierre Curie's
'crystal electrometer' has been very useful for Mary's doctoral studies.
Pierre and one of his students
made their first discovery of nuclear energy by realizing the thermal energy
emitted from radium particles. They were the first to find radioactive
materials out of radioactive materials. Using the magnetic fields, they found
that some of the particles emitted were negative, some resistive, and some
neutral. These were the Alpha rays, the Beta rays, the Alpha, the Beta and the
Gamma rays. The unit used to measure radiation is the Curie. The calculation is
that a curie will cause 3.7x10 ^ 10 decays per second. In 1910, the Radiology
Congress introduced this unit to measure radiation, which Pierre Curie boasted.
Radium is a radioactive
element with the molecular potential of Ra. Its atomic number is 88. Its
nuclear capacity is 226. Radium in the form of radium chloride was discovered
on April 20, 1898, by the Marieguri and Pieriguri couple Radium was isolated from
the mineral uranite at the French Academy of Sciences five days later. Maiduguri
and Andr--Louis Debierne electrified radium chloride in 1911 to produce radium
in its metallic state. Madame Marie Curie is a physicist and chemist. The
world's first female scientist. Who introduced the main effects in the
scientific theory of radiation. Radium, which he invented, plays a vital role in cancer treatment.
It has hundreds of thousands
of times more radiation than uranium. Pierre Curie used it on his body to find
the true effect of radium. The first was irritation. Then there was soreness.
At the same time, they found that using radium could heal ulcers. This is
called radiation therapy or radium therapy. Radium has many applications.
Bacterial and germ-resistant, the seeds can prevent
germination and are used for some skin infections.
They continued to study
radiation and found a way to produce radiation in vitro. The scientist who shared
the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics with Henry Beckerle and Marie Curie. In 1903
he was awarded the Jump Award for his study of radium. He has received awards
such as the Davey Medal, Mateusz Medal and the Eliot Cresson Medal. He died in
Paris on April 19, 1906, when a heavy cargo collided with him when he was crossing
the road at Ruedoubine during a severe rainstorm. Several postage stamps
were issued to honour the Curie couple.
