ABOUT RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS AND RADIOACTIV ITY IN LISTY-CHEMICKE

A short information on experimental knowledge of Curie husbands about radioactive substance obtained from pitchblende (uranite) after separa tion of uranium, which they named Polonium, was the first notice on th e progress in the research of radioactivity published in Listy Chemick e (October 1898). In further volumes of Listy Chemicke, a series follo wed of reference contributions about the pioneering works on radioacti vity and the endeavour for finding and proving the existence of other naturally radioactive elements, namely polonium, radium, actinium, and radon.
