“The discovery of curium was part of the Manhattan Project, so it stayed secret until World War II ended. It was supposed to be announced at an American Chemical Society meeting, but was accidentally revealed early on a kids’ radio show. The name was chosen to honor Marie and Pierre Curie for their work in radioactivity.”
