= Complete collection of Pierre Curie's publications, including those with M. Curie. DSB III, p.503-508: "It was Marie Curie who, impressed by Roentgen's and Becquerel's discoveries, considered investigating other substances exhibiting the same properties as uranium. For Pierrie Curie this was a new period in his scientific career: in close collaboration with his wife, he was to study radioactivity and discover polonium and radium (...) The success of their collaboration was assured by the complementary nature of their talents. Pierre Curie appeared to be the complete physicist (...); Marie Curie on the other hand, was trained mainly as a chemist (...) The reason for their succes may be found in the new method of chemical analysis based on the precise measurement of radiation emitted, a method still in use. It shows the trademark of Pierre Curie."
