Pierre Curie
Academic, Chemist, Physicist, Scientist (1859–1906)
French physicist Pierre Curie was of the founding fathers of modern physics and is best known for being a pioneer in radioactive studies.
Pierre Curie was a pioneer in crystallography, magnetism, piezoelectricity and radioactivity.
Pierre Curie was born in Paris, France, on May 15, 1859.
His father, a physician, trained him in math and science from a young age.
Pierre Curie then entered the Faculty of Sciences at the Sorbonne, where he earned his degree in 1878.
In 1903 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics with his wife, Marie Curie, and Henri Becquerel,
"in recognition of the extraordinary services they have rendered by their joint researches
on the radiation phenomena discovered by Professor Henri Becquerel".
The curie, a unit of radioactivity, was named after him.
Pierre Curie died in 1906 after being run over by a horse-drawn carriage in Paris.
