This article appears in Volume V03, Page 612 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANTOINE HENRI BECQUEREL (1852-1908) , son of the last-named, who succeeded to his chair at the Musee d'Histoire Naturelle in 1892, was
born
  in Paris on the 15th of
December
  1852, studied at the Ecole Polytechnique, where he was appointed a
professor
  in 1895, and in 1875 entered the department des ponts et chaussees, of which in 1894 he became ingenieur en chef. He was distinguished as the discoverer of radioactivity, having found in 1896 that uranium at
ordinary
  temperatures emits an invisible radiation which in many respects resembles Rontgen rays, and can affect a photographic
plate
  after passing through thin plates of metal. For his researches in this department he was in 1903 awarded a
Nobel
  prize jointly with Pierre
Curie
 . He also engaged in
work
  on magnetism, the polarization of
light
 , phosphorescence and the absorption of
light
  in crystals. He died at Croisic in Brittany on the 25th of August 1908.
