2. New Views of the Universe Radioactivity- By the early 1900s, the Polish- born French scientist Marie Curie and other scientists were experimenting with a process called radioactivity. They discovered that the atoms of certain elements, such as radium and uranium, spontaneously release charged particles. They discovered that it could change atoms of one element into atoms of another element. Such findings proved that atoms were not solid and indivisible.
