Third Becquerel in line of French physicists leaves a hopeful heir
The death of Antoine Henri Becquerel at 56 recalls three generations of French physicists in a family famed for phosphorescence and fluorescence studies. From Antoine to Edmond, and Henri, the line laid foundations in electrochemistry and radiation science, with the 1883 work on uranium absorption marking a key 19th century advance. The latest heir shows readiness to continue the tradition.
