Pierre Curie ( , ; 15 May 1859 – 19 April 1906) was a French physicist, a pioneer in crystallography, magnetism, piezoelectricity, and radioactivity.
After obtaining his doctorate, he became professor of physics and in 1900, he became professor in the faculty of sciences. In 1880, Pierre and his older brother Paul-Jacques (1856–1941) demonstrated that an electric potential was generated when crystals were compressed, i.e.
Even now, all their papers from the 1890s, even her cookbooks, are too dangerous to touch.
In 1895, he went on to receive his doctorate at the University of Paris, in France.
She refused his initial proposal, but finally agreed to marry him on 26 July 1895. The Curies had a happy, affectionate marriage, and they were known for their devotion to each other. ==Research== Before his famous doctoral studies on magnetism, he designed and perfected an extremely sensitive torsion balance for measuring magnetic coefficients.

In 1903, to honor the Curies' work, the Royal Society of London invited Pierre to present their research.
He did not attend séances such as those of Eusapia Palladino in Paris in June 1905 as a mere spectator, and his goal certainly was not to communicate with spirits.

Pierre and Marie Curie's granddaughter, Hélène Langevin-Joliot, is a professor of nuclear physics at the University of Paris, and their grandson, Pierre Joliot, who was named after Pierre Curie, is a noted biochemist. ==Death== Pierre Curie died in a street accident in Paris on 19 April 1906.
These correspond to alpha, beta and gamma radiation. The curie is a unit of radioactivity (3.7 × 1010 decays per second or 37 gigabecquerels) originally named in honor of Curie by the Radiology Congress in 1910, after his death.
They experienced radiation sickness and Marie Curie died of aplastic anemia in 1934.
Ève married Henry Richardson Labouisse, Jr., who received a Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of Unicef in 1965.
Bémont for their discovery of radium and polonium was honored by a Citation for Chemical Breakthrough Award from the Division of History of Chemistry of the American Chemical Society presented to the ESPCI ParisTech (officially the École supérieure de physique et de Chimie industrielles de la Ville de Paris) in 2015.
