Henri Becquerel was the first to discover that a penetrating radiation came from uranium, even if the uranium had not been exposed to sunlight. He thus showed that radioactivity was a fundamental property of uranium. Prior to his discovery, it was thought that any such radiation coming from uranium was the result of its interaction with sunlight.
Antoine Henri Becquerel won The Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903.
Marie Curie won the Nobel prize in 1903 for physics, along with Pierre Curie (her husband), and Henri Becquerel who helped with the discovery of radiation.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1903 was divided, one half awarded to Antoine Henri Becquerel "in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by his discovery of spontaneous radioactivity", the other half jointly to Pierre Curie and Marie Curie, "in recognition of the extraordinary services they have rendered by their joint researches on the radiation phenomena discovered by Professor Henri Becquerel".
The Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 was awarded jointly to Henri Becquerel, Pierre Curie, and Marie Curie for their research on radiation phenomena. Marie Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize.
Henri Moissan won The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1906.
Henri Bergson won The Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1903 was divided, one half awarded to Antoine Henri Becquerel in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by his discovery of spontaneous radioactivity,the other half jointly to Pierre Curie and Marie Curie Sklodowska in recognition of the extraordinary services they have rendered by their joint researches on the radiation phenomena discovered by Professor Henri Becquerel.
Henri La Fontaine won The Nobel Peace Prize in 1913.
Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 with her husband Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel for their research on radioactivity. She later won a second Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 for her discovery of the elements radium and polonium.
Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903, which she shared with her husband Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel for their work on radioactivity. She later won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 for her discovery of the elements radium and polonium, making her the first person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields.
Marie Curie earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 (shared with Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel) and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 for her groundbreaking research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and remains the only person to have won Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields.
Charles Jules Henri Nicolle won The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1928.
