As long as people who are oppressed and in difficult situations have a strong will, are not afraid of difficulties, study diligently, and have the courage to climb, the road to physical and psychological success can be achieved, even if it has twists and turns. We must accept and support new things, and use an innovative spirit to engage in scientific research and all other work.

Mrs. Curie loved science and devoted her life silently to the cause of science. She was indifferent to fame and fortune, treating money as nothing but dirt. She has a tenacious personality and noble sentiments that never stop fighting.

She taught her daughter well, pursued freedom, cherished time and was persistent and diligent. Although she discovered radium, she did not apply for a patent and lived an extremely simple life. As Einstein said: "Of all the world-famous figures, Marie Curie is the only one who has not been spoiled by fame."

In her experimental research, Madame Curie designed a measuring instrument that could not only detect the presence of rays in a certain substance, but also measure the intensity of the rays. After repeated experiments, she found that the intensity of uranium rays is proportional to the amount of uranium in the material, and has nothing to do with the state of uranium existence and external conditions.

Madame Curie conducted a comprehensive examination of known chemical elements and all compounds, and made an important discovery: an element called thorium can also automatically emit invisible rays. It shows that the phenomenon that elements can emit rays is not just a characteristic of uranium, but a unique characteristic of some elements.

She called this phenomenon radioactivity, and the elements with this property called radioactive elements. The rays they emit are called "radiation."
