What is recorded here?
Separated a strongly radioactive barium-associated fraction from pitchblende and proposed a new element, radium, using chemical and spectroscopic evidence.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The announcement precedes isolation of pure radium and later atomic understanding. It is distinct from the same year’s polonium report; Gustave Bémont is retained as a coauthor.
