Henri Becquerel accidently discovered radioactivity while conducting experiments on phosphorescence. He saw that photographic plates that were still wrapped in their black paper packaging was exposed when placed near uranium salts. Therefore, this suggested a type of radiation that can pass through solid matter. He went on the share a Nobel prize with the Curies.
