Henri Becquerel (Antoine Henri Becquerel) accidentally discovered radioctivity in 1896. (The Related Link has more information.) The better-known Curies, Marie and Pierre, with him shared honors for the early study of radioactivity. The unit for radioactivity, once known as the curie, has since been, for the most part, replaced by an SI derived unit, the becquerel, or Bq.
