The curie (symbol: Ci) is a unit of radioactivity that was originally defined as the amount of radioactivity in a sample of radium-226 that produces 37 billion disintegrations per second. It is named after Marie Curie and her husband Pierre Curie, who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. In terms of the International System of Units (SI), 1 curie is equivalent to 3.
