Marie Skłodowska Curie was a Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity.

In 1898, Marie and her husband discovered two new elements: polonium and radium

In 1903, Marie and her husband were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of radioactive elements. They shared this with another French scientist called Becquerel

Marie Curie became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1911 was awarded to Marie Curie "in recognition of her services to the advancement of chemistry by the discovery of the elements radium and polonium, by the isolation of radium and the study of the nature and compounds of this remarkable element".

Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist. Einstein developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics. Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science

Albert Einstein became famous for the theory of relativity, which laid the basis for the release of atomic energy. In 1905 Albert Einstein formulates Special Theory of Relativity.

His scientific work and discoveries were key in the atomic bomb's development, specifically his work on energy and mass and his famous equation: E=mc2

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921

He was awarded the Franklin Medal in 1935

Jonas Edward Salk was an American medical researcher and virologist. He discovered and developed one of the first successful polio vaccines

In 1947, Salk took a position at University of Pittsburgh, where he began conducting research on polio, also known as infantile paralysis. By 1951, Salkhad determined that there were three distinct types of polio viruses and was able to develop a "killed virus" vaccine for the disease

In 1954, Sulk was awarded the John Scott Legacy Medal and Premium

He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977

Guglielmo Marconi, 1st Marquis of Marconi was an Italian inventor and electrical engineer known for his pioneering work on long-distance radio transmission and for his development of Marconi's law and a radio telegraph system

He developed, demonstrated, and marketed the first successful long-distance wireless telegraph and in 1901 broadcast the first transatlantic radio signal. In 1909 he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for his radio work.

In 1923, Guglielmo was awarded the IEEE Medal of Honor
