🌎 The discovery of radioactivity in 1896 by Henri Becquerel revealed that uranium salts emit invisible energy. This led to the identification of new elements like polonium and radium by Marie and Pierre Curie. Their work contributed to the development of X-ray machines and atomic science. The Curies isolated just 1 gram of radium from 8 tons of ore. ✨ #radioactivity⚡#discovery⚡#inventions 👉subscribe Interesting Planet
