Marie Curie discovered radioactivity in the 1890s.

the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 6 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Marie Curie discovered radioactivity in the 1890s?

No. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources attribute the discovery or first description of radioactivity to Henri Becquerel (sometimes jointly with the Curies), while crediting Marie Curie with discovering radium and polonium. None of the placed items supports the claim that Curie discovered radioactivity in the 1890s.
