GOOGLE DOODLE TODAY: Internet giant Google on Saturday celebartes Romanian physicist Ștefania Mărăcineanu's 140th Birthday with a Doodle.

She also studied the link between earthquakes and rainfall, becoming the first to report that there is significant increase of radioactivity in the epicenter leading up to an earthquake. After working for four years at the Astronomical Observatory in Meudon, she returned to Romania and founded her homeland’s first laboratory for the study of Radioactivity.

She didn't contest the Nobel prize but wanted recognition for her contribution. Mărăcineanu also studied the link between earthquakes and rainfall and was also the first to report that there is significant increase of radioactivity in the epicentre leading up to an earthquake. Mărăcineanu's work led to the first example of artificial radioactivity.

Google on Saturday celebrated the 140th birth anniversary of Ștefania Mărăcineanu, one of the pioneering women.

After working for four years at the Astronomical Observatory in Meudon, she returned to Romania and founded her homeland’s first laboratory for the study of Radioactivity. Her research led to what is most likely the first example of artificial radioactivity.

Search giant Google has unveiled a unique cartoonish doodle on the occasion of the 140th birth anniversary of Stefania Maracineanu, the Romanian physicist.

Maracineanu's work was acknowledged by the Romanian Academy of Sciences in 1936 when she was chosen as a Director of Research, but she never garnered international acclaim for the discovery. Maracineanu established the country's first laboratory for the research of radioactivity. The Google Doodle for June 18 has been made to pay tribute to the Romanian physicist, one of the pioneering women in the field of radioactivity discovery and study.

Mărăcineanu became the first scientist to discover that before an earthquake, there was significant increase of radioactivity in the epicenter.The physicist died in 1944. In 1935, when Marie Curie’s daughter Irène Curie and her husband Frédéric Joliot-Curie received a joint Nobel prize for discovering artificial radioactivity, Mărăcineanu demanded that her role be recognized too. A significant part of her career -- her laboratory at the Radium Institute -- is to this date preserved at the Curie Museum in Paris.

You may have heard of Marie Curie, but Ștefania Mărăcineanu was also one of the pioneering women in the discovery and research of radioactivity.

In 1935, Irène Currie, Marie Curie's daughter, and her husband received a joint Nobel prize for their discovery of artificial radioactivity. She was the first to report that there's a high increase in radioactivity in the epicenter leading up to an earthquake. She founded Romania's first laboratory for radioactivity studies.

The Google Doodle for 18 June features Ștefania Mărăcineanu on the occasion of her 140th birth anniversary. But who was the Romanian physicist?

Considered a pioneer of radioactivity, she studied radioactivity with renowned Polish physicist Marie Curie – who was also the first woman to win a Nobel Prize – in 1919 at the University of Paris (Sorbonne). After receiving her PhD from the Radium Institute, Mărăcineanu worked with Curie till 1926. According to an entry on the Digital Mechanism and Gear Library website (www.dmg-lib.org), Mărăcineanu is considered Romania's first prominent physicist. But who was Ștefania Mărăcineanu. Born in 1882 in Bucharest, Mărăcineanu îs renowned for her work and research on radioactivity.

Ștefania Mărăcineanu made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of artificial radioactivity without receiving international recognition.

She retired in 1942 and died in Bucharest on 15 August 1944 at the age of 62. She conducted research into artificial rain and around the link between earthquakes and rainfall. The physicist became Director of Research of the Romanian Academy of Sciences in 1937, and Associate Professor in 1941.
