Who is famous for discoveries in radioactivity?
marie curie
How was radioactivity discovered?
Radioactivity was discovered on March 1, 1896, by a French physicist named Henri Becquerel, this discovery is now known as one of the most famous accidental discoveries in the history of physics. Becquerel was then awarded half of the noble prize for physics in 1903, the other half being given to Pierre and Marie Curie for their study of the Becquerel radiation.
WHO DISCOVered radioactivity in 1896?
Radioactivity was discovered in 1896 by Henri Becquerel, a French scientist, while testing phosphorescent materials with photographic plates. He discovered that, when the plates were covered with black paper, that phosphorescent materials did not affect the plates until he used uranium salts.
What woman won the nobel prize for science in 1903 for discovering radioactivity?
Marie Curie (although she did not 'discover radioactivity'; that was Becquerel)
What is an examples of artificial radioactivity except U?
Uranium is not artificial radioactivity so it is not clear what the question is about.

Radioactivity was discovered by Albert Einstein.?
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.
