Curiegram

/ˈkjʊəriɡræm/ noun

Definition

A unit of measurement for radioactivity, or a record/image produced by analyzing radioactive materials (related to Curie units).

Etymology

Derived from 'Curie' (the unit named after Marie Curie) combined with '-gram' (a written record or measurement). Created in 20th-century nuclear science terminology.

Kelly Says

Marie Curie won two separate Nobel Prizes and discovered two elements, yet the unit of radioactivity 'curie' is often overlooked—a curiegram honors her legacy in every measurement of atomic decay.
