ANTECEDENTES HISTÓRICOS
El 8 de noviembre de 1895, el profesor de física y director del Instituto de Física de la Universidad de Würzburg, Alemania, Wilhem Conrad Röntgen (figura 1), al estudiar los rayos catódicos en tubos al alto vacío de los que existían entonces, que eran tipo Lennard o Hittorf Crookes, descubrió los rayos X y realizó la primera radiografía, que corresponde a la mano de su esposa, la Sra. Bertha Ludwing. Por desconocer qué tipo de energía se había producido, la denominó rayos X, y publicó el artículo “Una nueva clase de rayos” en la revista Ueber eine neue Art von Strahlen (Vorläufige Mittheilung).

Por este descubrimiento, en el año 1901 se le otorgó el primer Premio Nobel de Física al profesor Wilhem Conrad Röntgen1,2.
En México, el 25 de febrero 1896, es decir 2 meses después del descubrimiento de los rayos X, llegó a San Luis Potosí el primer tubo de rayos X, y el Dr. Antonio F. López publicó en el periódico El Estandarte los principios físicos de los rayos X, el

Marie Curie
Polish-French physicist and chemist (1867–1934)

Maria Salomea Skłodowska-Curie[a] (Polish:[ˈmarjasalɔˈmɛaskwɔˈdɔfskakʲiˈri]ⓘ; née Skłodowska; 7 November 1867 – 4 July 1934), known simply as Marie Curie (KURE-ee;[1]French:[maʁikyʁi]), was a Polish and naturalised-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win a Nobel Prize twice, and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two scientific fields. Her husband, Pierre Curie, was a co-winner of her first Nobel Prize, making them the first married couple to win the Nobel Prize and launching the Curie family legacy of five Nobel Prizes. She was, in 1906, the first woman to become a professor at the University of Paris.[2]
She was born in Warsaw, in what was then the Kingdom of Poland, part of the Russian Empire. She studi

Marie Curie
(1867-1934)
Who Was Marie Curie?
Marie Curie became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person — man or woman — to win the award twice. With her husband Pierre Curie, Marie's efforts led to the discovery of polonium and radium and, after Pierre's death, the further development of X-rays. The famed scientist died in 1934 of aplastic anemia likely caused by exposure to radiation.

Early Life and Education
Maria Sklodowska, later known as Marie Curie, was born on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw (modern-day Poland). Curie was the youngest of five children, following siblings Zosia, Józef, Bronya and Hela.
Both of Curie’s parents were teachers. Her father, Wladyslaw, was a math and physics instructor. When she was only 10, Curie lost her mother, Bronislawa, to tuberculosis.
As a child, Curie took after her father. She had a bri
