Picture dated 1925 shows Professor Marie Curie working in the laboratory of Paris university. Marie Curie and her husband, the French physicist Pierre Curie were the discoverers of radium and won the Nobel prize for physics in 1903. Pierre Curie was born in Paris 15 May 1859 and his most important contributions to physics was the discovery that the magnetic properties of substances change at certain temperature, known as the " Curie point." / AFP PHOTO

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brilliant mind of Professor Marie Curie as she immerses herself in her laboratory work at Paris University in 1925. Known for her groundbreaking discoveries alongside her husband, Pierre Curie, they were the pioneers behind the identification of radium and were honored with the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903. Born on May 15,1859, in Paris, Pierre's significant contribution to physics was his revelation that substances undergo magnetic changes at specific temperatures known as the "Curie point". In this image, we witness Professor Marie Curie engrossed in her scientific pursuits, a testament to her unwavering dedication and passion for advancing knowledge. Her remarkable achievements have left an indelible mark on history and continue to inspire generations of scientists worldwide. It is worth noting that exactly 100 years prior to this photograph being taken—on July 18th, 1898—the Curies announced their discovery of Polonium before eventually receiving their well-deserved Nobel Prize. This picture serves as a reminder not only of Marie Curie's immense contributions but also highlights the invaluable role women play within scientific fields. AFP proudly presents this vertical portrait capturing Professor Marie Curie's profound impact on medicine and physics—a true embodiment of excellence deserving recognition beyond commercial use.
