Irene Joliot-Curie was the daughter of Marie and Pierre Curie. She married Frederic Joliot, who, like Irene, was a scientist. She and her husband worked together and, in 1935, the Joliot-Curies won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for their discovery of artificial radioactivity.
Irene also experimented with bombarding uranium nuclei with neutrons. She collaborated with scientist Pavle Savitch; together they showed that uranium could be broken down into other radioactive elements. This paved the way for another physicist, Otto Hahn, to prove that uranium bombarded with neutrons can be made to split into two atoms of comparable mass. This phenomenon was named fission and is the foundation for the practical applications of nuclear energy.
No, Irene had a sister Eve.
No
If they are, it is very, very distantly.

sorry i meant to put.. what was Madam Curie's older sister who went to France? that made Madam Curie follow... i just need her name thanx! =]]
No. Hurricane Irene passed to the east of Florida and made landfall in North Carolina.
Polonium was discovered by Marie Curie and Pierre Curie in 1898.Radium was discovered by Marie Curie, Pierre Curie and G. Bemont also in 1898. Studying residues of uranium ores Marie Curie and Pierre Curie found that these residues are more radioactive than uranium; they attributed this radioactivity to unknown elements. They isolated these elements and named these elements polonium and radium.
Hurricane Irene first hit the U.S. on August 27 and made a second landfall on August 28.
Irene DID discover and invent things. Irene invented the x-ray machine with help of her mother and the study of radioactivity. She received a Nobel prize for it one year after her mother's death. It proved to be very helpful during the war. Irene and her husband, Fredric., discover that atoms contain neutrons also.
Irene Joliet-Curie and Frederic JoliotIrene Joliet-Curie and her husband Frédéric both were French scientists who shared winning the Nobel Prize award in chemistry in 1935 for artificially synthesizing a radioactive isotope of phosphorus by bombarding aluminum with alpha particles. 30P (15 protons/elections) was the first radioactive nuclide obtained through this method of artificially inducing radioactivity.ImagesIrene Joliot-Curie and husband, Frederic Joliot:Aluminum:Polonium:Artificially Induced Radioactivity TodayBefore this discovery of artificial induction of radioactivity, it was a common belief that atoms of matter are unchangeble and indivisible. After the very first discoveries made by Ernest Rutherford, Irene Joliot-Curie and her husband, Frederic Joliot, a new point of view was developed. The point of view that although atoms appear to be stable, they can be transformed into new atoms with different chemical properties. Today over one thousand artificially created radioactive nuclides exist, which considerably outnumber the nonradioactive ones created. Activation by neutron captureActivation (or radioactivation) involves making a radioactive isotope by neutron capture, e.g. the addition of a neutron to a nuclide resulting in an increase in isotope number by 1 while retaining the same atomic number. Activation is often an inadvertant process occuring inside or near a nuclear reactor, where there are many neutrons flying around. For example, Cobalt-59 has a large neutron capture cross-section, making it likely that Co-59 in or near a nuclear reactor will capture a neutron forming the radioactive isotope Co-60. To avoid this inadvertant activation, the use of cobalt in or near reactors is minimized to the extent it is practical. Light water coolant in nuclear reactors inevitably contain traces of impurities which inadvertantly become neutron-activated making the primary water coolant radioactive. In boiling water reactors (BWR), the radioactive water/steam contaminates the inside of the steam turbine with radioactivity. Maintenance in a BWR steam turbine requires radiological controls to avoid contamination of the maintenance personnel.

She made a potato soup.
It was first discovered in 1898.The announcement was made on December 26, 1898 by Marie Curie, Pierre Curie, and Gustave Bémont in Paris, France.For works including this discovery, Marie Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1911.Radium was discovered in 1898 by Marie Curie, Pierre Curie and Gustave Bemont.

she discovered radioactivity
She made History by discovering radium and potonium
Studying residues of uranium ores Marie Curie and Pierre Curie found that these residues are more radioactive than uranium; they attributed this radioactivity to unknown elements. They isolated these elements and named these elements polonium and radium.
One can only assume she did as she made it her life's work.
