| Summary |
"Untersuchungen über die radioaktiven Substanzen" by Marie Curie is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work provides a detailed overview of Curie's research on radioactive substances, particularly focusing on the discovery and analysis of radium and its properties. The book serves as a historical account of the early discoveries in radioactivity and the methodologies developed during that time. At the start of the publication, Curie outlines her extensive research conducted over several years, beginning with the work on uranium rays discovered by Antoine Henri Becquerel. She describes the collaborative efforts with her husband, Pierre Curie, to extract and analyze new radioactive elements, leading to the identification of radium. The opening portion also discusses various studies by contemporaneous physicists that contributed to the understanding of radioactivity, setting the stage for Curie’s findings and methods introduced later in the text. This early exposition presents not only the significance of the research but also Curie's appreciation for the scientific community that aided her investigations.
