- 1.1 The quantity of radioactive substance that emits one curie of activity.
居里(具有这种放射性强度的放射性物质的量) a curie of any radioactive element disintegrates at the same rate as 1 gram of natural radium Example sentencesExamples - The new tenants discovered an old irradiator containing 19 curies of cobalt-60.
- During that time I used to handle vials with over 5 curies (which is about 100 times more than what you inquire about) of this radioactive substance on almost daily basis.

OriginEarly 20th century: named after Pierre and Marie Curie. Rhymesde jure, fioriture, fury, houri, Jewry, jury, Manipuri, Missouri, moory, Newry, tandoori, Urey proper nounˈkjʊəriˈkjʊri Marie (1867–1934), Polish-born French physicist, and Pierre (1859–1906), French physicist, pioneers of radioactivity. Working together on the mineral pitchblende, they discovered the elements polonium and radium, for which they shared the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics with A.-H. Becquerel. After her husband's accidental death Marie received another Nobel Prize (for chemistry) in 1911 for her isolation of radium. She died of leukaemia, caused by prolonged exposure to radioactive materials. nounˈkjʊriˈkyo͝orē 1A unit of radioactivity, corresponding to 3.7 × 10¹⁰ disintegrations per second. 居里(放射性强度单位,相当于每秒3.7×1010蜕变) Example sentencesExamples - The sediment around its shores blew 5 million curies of radioactive dust over 25,000 square kilometres, irradiating 500,000 people.

OriginEarly 20th century: named after Pierre and Marie Curie. proper nounˈkyo͝orēˈkjʊri Name of French physicists Marie (1867–1934), born Maria Sklodowska in Poland, and her husband Pierre (1859–1906); pioneers in radioactivity. Working together on the mineral pitchblende, they discovered the elements polonium and radium. After her husband's accidental death, Marie isolated radium. She died of leukemia, caused by prolonged exposure to radioactive materials. She shared the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics and the 1911 Nobel Prize for Chemistry with Becquerel. |
