Physics and chemistry Nobelist Marie (5)

I believe the answer is:

curie

(Other definitions for curie that I've seen before include "Marie ---, found radium" , "Scientist" , "Some radiation" , "Marie --, French chemist" , "Nobel Prize winner for physics (1903) and chemistry (1911), d. 1934" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
