Marie received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 for discovering the elements polonium and radium, which she discovered using procedures she created for isolating radioactive isotopes. International acclaim for her work had reached new heights, and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, overcoming resistance sparked by the Langevin controversy, awarded her the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the second time in 1911. She was hospitalised for sadness and a renal condition a month after winning her Nobel Prize in 1911.

She returned to her laboratory only in December, following a 14-month hiatus.
