Which scientist was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes?

Marie Curie was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes.

She received the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics with Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel for research into radioactivity. In 1911, she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering the elements polonium and radium and for studying their properties.

Curie was born Maria Skłodowska in Warsaw in 1867 and later worked in Paris. Her research helped establish radioactivity as a major field of physics and chemistry. She also became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize.

Curie remains the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields. Her daughter Irène Joliot-Curie later won the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, making the family one of the most notable in Nobel history.
