There is a Nobel Prize that has a lot of talk and trouble. Marie Curie, Madame Curie, is very famous as a scholar devoted to science. Most of her family members have made great contributions to science. The Curie family had several generations of scientific achievements. They are the only family in the world to have won multiple Nobel Prizes. 

Marie Curie's real name was Maria, and she was a physicist and chemist from Poland.

He discovered radium and polonium, and won Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry for his radioactivity research, respectively. He was the first to receive two Nobel Prizes. Pierre Curie was Marie Curie's husband. He was a physicist from France. Together with Marie, he studied radium and polonium and led research on radioactivity. In 1903, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Marie Curie.

Irene Joliot Curie is the daughter of Marie and Pierre. He followed in his mother's footsteps and became a scientist. Together with her husband, Frédéric Joliot Curie, she discovered artificial radioactive isotopes and won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935. Frédéric Joliot Curie was a French physicist. They conducted radioactive isotope research together, and the two jointly received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

The Curie family pioneered the study of radioactive materials and made significant contributions to the fields of nuclear power generation and medicine. They are evaluated as having had a significant impact on human scientific development. It is also thanks to these families that Korea has achieved such industrial development and has become a country where people can turn on the lights 24 hours a day.
