The first person to win two Nobel Prizes was Marie Curie. She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 alongside her husband, Pierre Curie, and Henri Becquerel for their work on radioactivity. Later, in 1911, she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her discovery of the elements polonium and radium. Curie’s groundbreaking contributions to science not only pioneered research in nuclear physics and chemistry but also established her as a foremost figure in scientific history.
