My favourite Scientist


Marie Skłodowska Curie (7th november 1867- 4th july 1934) was a polish and naturalized-French Physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity

Her achievements included the development of the theory of radioactivity (a term that she coined), techniques for isolating radioactive isotopes, and the discovery of two elements, polonium and radium.

In December 1903, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded Pierre Curie, Marie Curie, and Henri Becquerel the Novel prize in Physics, "in recognition of the extraordinary services they have rendered by their joint researches on the radiation phenomena discovered by Professor Henri Becquerel."


Skłodowska had begun her scientific career in Paris with an investigation of the magnetic properties of various steels and the  same year Pierre Curie entered her life; it was their mutual interest in natural sciences that drew them together

I´m admire her because she was the first woman to win a Novel prize, the first person and only woman to win the novel prize twice, and the only person to win the Nobel Prize in two different scientific fields
As one of the most famous women scientists to date, Marie Curie has become an icon in the scientific world and has received tributes from across the globe.

She was known for her honesty and moderate lifestyle, having received a small scholarship in 1893, she returned it in 1897 as soon as she began earning her keep. She gave much of her first Nobel Prize money to friends, family, students, and research associates

nano-science

Nano-science is the study of structures ans materials on the scale of nanometers, and it´s referers to the metric profix 10 -9 .  It means one billionth of something. When structures are made small enought in the nanometer size range, they can take on interesting and useful properties. Nanoscience has already impacted our lives with innovations such as strain resistant fabrics inspired by nanoscale features found on lotus plants and computer hard drives, which store information on magnetic strips that are just 20 nanometers thick. Scientists and engineers from several disciplines including physics, chemistry, biology and material science use nanoscience principles for advanced applications in energy, medicine, information storage, computing and elsewhere. Nanotechnology will eventually provide us with the ability to design custom-made materials and products with new enhanced properties, new nanoelectronics components, new types of “smart” medicines and sensors, and even interface

The website that I really need

In my career I need a lot of websites, but basically to read papers I have to use https://www.sciencedirect.com/ This website has a lot of information about everything related with science, for example Chemistry, Mathematics or Physics and Astronomy studies to mention a few, and is very easy to use, only have to put the keywords and that´s all you need.😊 This webside has a lot of sections, and basically depend of what kind of information you need, books, papers, authors or even pages for more information. On internet a lot of websites do the same thing but Science Direct is more instinctive, because if you don´t ever visit a website like this, you learn immediately to use I visit this website every day, because if I don´t have to study I read about emerging news and the most recent about topics of my career, like climate changes or Atmosferic Chemistry. Another adventage of this page is about if you need to download books, papers or any information abouts some topic is very
