After topping her masters degree physics course, Marie was introduced to French scientist Pierre Curie. In Pierre she found her research soul mate and the two were married in 1895. Pierre shared Marie's love of experimentation and discovery and their personal and professional partnership flourished. Marie's investigation of uranium rays yielded the ground-breaking hypothesis that the rays could be an atomic property of uranium, leading to a Nobel Prize in physics.
