Henri Becquerel: The Discovery of Radioactivity [Elektronische Daten] [A. Allisy] This paper recalls the history of the Becquerel family, the fascinating time of the discovery of radioactivity as well as some important related research published before the radium age. Henri Becquerel was the third in the line of a family of scientists which extended over more than a hundred years. Following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather gave him a thorough grounding in scientific research methods. Science at the turn of the century was very exciting, the discovery of X rays had just been announced and scientists everywhere were hoping to discover new phenomena. This ambiance, in which Henri was immersed, no doubt facilitated his research which resulted in the discovery of radioactivity.
