Do you recognise the married couple that were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935?
The radiochemist Irène Joliot-Curie was a battlefield radiologist, activist, politician, and daughter of two of the most famous scientists in the world: Marie and Pierre Curie. Along with her husband, Frédéric, she discovered the first-ever artificially created radioactive atoms, paving the way for innumerable medical advances, especially in the fight against cancer.
The couple met after World War I, when Irène became her mother’s assistant at the Radium Institute. There her mother (Marie Sklodowska Curie) asked her to train fellow researcher, Frédéric Joliot. As Irène taught this chemical engineer about the various methods of their radiochemical lab, she found in Joliot a partner in work who could also be a partner in life. The two young scientists married in 1926.
Nine years later, in 1935, the pair were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work "in recognition of their synthesis of new radioactive elements."
