Jean Frédéric Joliot, dit Frédéric Joliot-Curie, né le 19 mars 1900 à Paris et mort le 14 août 1958 dans la même ville, est un physicien et chimiste français. Gendre de Pierre et Marie Curie, il a obtenu le prix Nobel de chimie en 1935 conjointement avec son épouse Irène Joliot-Curie.
Frédéric Joliot was a French physicist who discovered artificial radioactivity with his wife Irene Joliot-Curie. He also worked on nuclear fission, cyclotron, and atomic energy, and was a prominent figure in the Resistance and the Peace Movement.
Irène Joliot-Curie and Frédéric Joliot, a wife-and-husband team, received a Nobel Prize for their artificial creation of radioactive isotopes. With their discovery of “artificial” or “induced” radioactivity, radioactive atoms could be prepared relatively inexpensively, a boon to the progress of nuclear physics and medicine.
