After a time of effort and preparation, I got to apply to the university of the Sorbonne and graduated with recognition from the Science FacultyYou start your research work with your brother Jacobs and in 1880, his effort bore its first fruit, discovering “piezoelectricity”, which is a phenomenon by which electrical potential is obtained when compressing a quartz or a crystal.
Thus both scientists were able to conclude that a crystal can change shape or transform when subjected to a strong energy or heat potential. He continued with his studies and in 1894 he demonstrated the principle of the Symmetry, with which he demonstrated that all symmetry present in a physical phenomenon can be found in its consequences. In the following years, he decided to pursue a doctorate specializing in the magnetismThis is how he invented a torsion balance by means of which he could study not only magnetic phenomena, but also ferromagnetics, diamagnetism and paramagnetic phenomena.
From such notable parents in the field of research it was logical that their daughter Irene Joliot-Curie, continue the work of your parents and is creditor to another Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1935. About thirty years after his father’s death.
Pierre Curie died on April 19, 1906, when he was run over by a carriage in Paris, one morning while on his way to his laboratory. That same year, Pierre received along with his wife and Henrry Becquerel the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research on radiation, like they received the Davy medal from the Royal Society of London.
