Wilhelm Rontgen creates first X-ray picture, and Marie Curie discovers radioactive element radium, making it the first radiation cancer therapy.

In 1898, Marie Curie discovered the phenomenon of radioactivity, in which unstable atoms lose energy, or decay, by emitting radiation in the form of particles or electromagnetic waves. By 1904 physicist Ernest Rutherford showed how this decay process could act as a clock for dating old rocks. ...
That's mind-boggling, right? And radiation. Not nuclear, but radiation. Thinking about Marie Curie, she's one of my favorites. So, palpation science is a relatively new science. Self-myofascial release is even newer. And so, it is very interesting to see what our tool-based intervention'...
Although mastectomy is the standard treatment modality for breast cancer patients in Ethiopia, our previous study revealed that one in five patients do not receive the recommended procedure, half due to patient refusal or lack of returning to the hospita
After the birth of their daughter Irene in 1897, Marie Curie set about finding a subject to study for her doctorate. Although Henri Bequerel's(somewhat accidental) scientific discoveryof radiation had created little excitement in the scientific community, Marie was intrigued by these new rays, an...
albicans, is much less virulent although it is able to colonize host mucosal surfaces like C. albicans [17]. Therefore, immune evasion strategies can be observed in both mild and severe fungal pathogens. In this section, we introduce immune evasion strategies of environmental and commensal fungi,...
The radiation begins to take its toll, and her untimely death Print Collector/Getty Images Despite signs of ill health in Pierre Curie before his death, Marie Curie was unaware of the severity of thedangers posed by radioactive substances, including the radium she is so famously associated with...
