  • Re: Polonium, Radium

    The amount of work it takes to figure out the process of identifying and isolating something that at the time only existed in theory surely exceeds the effort and understanding required for most inventions.

    Furthermore, Curie could have patented a large swath of the equipment and processes she invented to conduct her radiological research but chose not to.
