The first person to win a Nobel Prize in two different scientific fields was Marie Curie. She received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903, alongside her husband Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel, for their work on radioactivity. In 1911, Curie won a second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry, for her discovery of the elements polonium and radium. Her groundbreaking research not only advanced the field of science but also paved the way for future generations of women in science, highlighting her remarkable legacy.
