No, it was discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie. Other scientists also contributed, such as Henri Bequerel. (Bequerel is the S.I unit for radioactivity). No, Marie Curie discovered and named radioactivity. Sadly her research into radiation caused her death.
Antoine Henri Bequerel (15.12.1852-25.08.1908), French physicist, in 1896.
A bequerel is the derived SI unit of radioactive activity, named after French physicist Henri Becquerel.
Henri Becquerel discovered that Uranium is a radioactive element. He did experiments and investigation of Uranium and other substances. He also studied a type of photoluminescence that is related to fluorescence.
In 1896 Henri Becquerel discovered by chance that uranium emit an unknown radiation which make traces on a photographic plate without direct contact. This phenomenon was called radioactivity.
Bequerel left his crystals in the sunlight for several hours as part of his experiment.
