Doctoral advisor. Charles Friedel [2] Signature. Antoine Henri Becquerel ForMemRS (/ ˌbɛkəˈrɛl /; [3] French: [ɑ̃twan ɑ̃ʁi bɛkʁɛl]; 15 December 1852 – 25 August 1908) was a French physicist and Nobel laureate in Physics for the discovery of radioactivity. [4] The SI unit of radioactivity, the becquerel (Bq), is named after him.
The association of exposure to radiation with cancer had been observed as early as 1902, six years after the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Röntgen and radioactivity by Henri Becquerel. [8] In 1927, Hermann Muller demonstrated that radiation may cause genetic mutation. [9] He also suggested mutation as a cause of cancer. [10]
The becquerel (/ ˌ b ɛ k ə ˈ r ɛ l /; symbol: Bq) is the unit of radioactivity in the International System of Units (SI). One becquerel is defined as an activity of one decay per second . For applications relating to human health this is a small quantity, [ 1 ] and SI multiples of the unit are commonly used.
Pierre Curie (/ ˈkjʊəri / KURE-ee; [1] French: [pjɛʁ kyʁi]; 15 May 1859 – 19 April 1906) was a French physicist, pioneer in crystallography, magnetism, piezoelectricity and radioactivity. In 1903, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics with his wife, Marie Skłodowska–Curie, and Henri Becquerel, "in recognition of the extraordinary ...
Radioligand. A radioligand is a microscopic particle which consists of a therapeutic radioactive isotope and the cell-targeting compound - the ligand. The ligand is the target binding site, it may be on the surface of the targeted cancer cell for therapeutic purposes. Radioisotopes can occur naturally or be synthesized and produced in a ...
One year later, in 1896, French physicist Antoine Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity, and Dutch physicist Pieter Zeeman observed spectral lines being split by a magnetic field. [47] [13] In 1897, theoretical physicist, Joseph Larmor explained the splitting of the spectral lines in a magnetic field by the oscillation of electrons. [48] [49]
During the 20-year study period, 8.5 percent of women who had lumpectomies died from breast cancer, nine percent of women who had mastectomies died from the disease, and 8.5 percent of women who ...
He is the first physician known to have used ionizing radiation for therapeutic purposes. In 1896, a year after the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Röntgen and in the same year that Antoine Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity , Freund successfully treated a five-year-old patient in Vienna suffering from hairy moles covering her whole back.
