Unfortunately, he died tragically on 19th April 1906 while he was trying [...] research in which she indicated the atomic mass of chlorine, gained from different materials.

It gave the new direction for the actions not only in physics and chemistry, but also in biology, medicine and technology. From 1936 Irene and Frédéric worked separately, because Joliot

In contrast, an evil person is made of heavy, rough atoms. He also thought that liquids consisted of smooth, rounded atoms, which caused them to fall apart. Solid objects [...] rounded atoms gave a sweet taste, and heavy, rough atoms gave a spicy flavor. Colors and shades are also dependent on the position of atoms in a mixture. Democritus believed that the atoms that make up
