## Bio

Frédéric Joliot was a French chemist and physicist who met his match when he married Irène Curie, daughter of Marie and Pierre. Working side by side, the pair discovered induced radioactivity — the ability to make stable elements radioactive through bombardment — and shared the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for it. They became the second married couple to win the prize, after Irène's parents, pushing the Curie family total to five. Beyond the lab bench, Joliot-Curie and Irène built institutions: together they founded the Orsay Faculty of Sciences, now part of Paris-Saclay University. He died in August 1958, his name hyphenated into one of science's most loaded surnames.
