MARIE SKLODOWSKA CURIE, her full name, opened up the science of radioactivity. She is best known as the discoverer of the radioactive elements polonium and radium and also as the first person to win two Nobel prizes.

Marie created this experiment with the assistance of her husband Pierre, in 1920, while in France. We are a little short on info. so this is all you'll get.
