Summary/Abstract: Dictionaries on the History of universal science associate the year 1934 to the moment when Frederic Joliot Curie (1900 – 1958) and Irene Loliot Curie discovered artificial radioactivity, a discovery for which, in the following year (1935), the distinguished researchers won the Nobel Prize. Making the discovery public, in one of that time`s newspaper “NEUES WIENER JOURNAL” from the 5th of June 1934, Irene Joliot Curie stated: … “We remember that the Romanian scholar, miss Maracineanu, announced in 1924 the discovery of the artificial radioactivity”… Who is in fact this “Romanian scholar, miss MARACINEANU” about whom Irene Joliot Curie remembers that she announced the discovery of artificial radioactivity 10 years before the Curies, laureates for the Nobel Prize for that discovery?
