In the years 1925–27, L. Wertenstein (1887–1945), a former student of Maria Skłodowska- -Curie, and the head of the Mirosław Kernbaum Radiological Laboratory in Warsaw during the interwar period, worked under E. Rutherford in the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge. Wertenstein was in close correspondence with Rutherford almost until his death in 1937. In one of the letters sent in 1933, Rutherford wrote about discovery of a new particle, called positive electron (discovered by Carl David Anderson in 1932), because he wanted to share his excitement about this great scientifi c event with Wertenstein. This letter is one of the proofs of a very friendly relationship between them.

For the first quarter of the 20th century, the Curie Laboratory and the Ernest Rutherford Laboratory were the two main research centers for radioactivity. Both dealt with the same field, but had different priorities from the beginning. The Paris laboratory focused on discovering and studying the properties of new radioactive elements, while Rutherford in his laboratories in Montreal, and later in Manchester and Cambridge, tried, above all, to explain the very nature of radioactivity. There was a clear competition between the two laboratories, which, however, did not preclude personal and scholarly cooperation between their heads of research, i.e. Maria Skłodowska-Curie and Ernest Rutherford. The article discusses the main topics of this collaboration, such as developing a radium template, assigning scientific terminology, organizing scientific conferences, and preparing students. In addition, a few passages were devoted to the private relations between both scientists, which had a direct impact on their collaboration.
