Another scientist named Dalton helped lay the foundation for modern atomic theory by creating standards and theories about the elements. Marie Curie of France also helped by discovering the elements: Polonium and Radium. Polonium was later used in nuclear research. Throughout the 19th century, many discoveries in the field of medicine aided and improved people's health, longevity, and well-being.
