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.
