The video shows modern uses, either stretch your imagination to think how it could or was used back in the day or better still look into the old shit, it won't be as easy to find, but stuff Marie Curie did was some of the best known groundbreaking stuff of the time.

Marie Curie was a Polish-born physicist and chemist who conducted groundbreaking research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win two Nobel Prizes, and the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields—physics and chemistry. During World War I, she developed mobile X-ray units for use on the front lines.

-   **Pioneering research**: 
    
    Curie coined the term "radioactivity" and, with her husband Pierre, discovered the elements radium and polonium.

-   **Nobel Prizes**: 
    
    She won the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics and the 1911 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

-   **Academic firsts**: 
    
    She was the first woman to become a professor at the University of Paris (the Sorbonne) and the first woman to earn a Ph.D. in France.

-   **Medical advancements**: 
    
    Her work was crucial to the development of X-rays in surgery, and she organized mobile X-ray units to help diagnose soldiers during World War I.

Early life and education

-   Born Maria Skłodowska in Warsaw, Poland, in 1867.

-   Moved to Paris to study at the Sorbonne because women were not allowed to attend university in Poland at the time.

-   Met and married physicist Pierre Curie, with whom she collaborated scientifically.

Legacy

-   **Scientific contributions**: 
    
    Her work on radioactivity laid the foundation for nuclear physics and led to the development of cancer treatments.

-   **Health effects**: 
    
    The constant exposure to radioactive materials she worked with ultimately contributed to her death from aplastic anemia in 1934. Her notebooks and papers from that period are still highly radioactive and are stored in lead-lined boxes.

-   **Enduring impact**:
