Article is worth the read.

NEW YORK – Just two weeks after a Nobel Prize highlighted theoretical work on subatomic particles, physicists are announcing a startling discovery about a much more familiar form of matter: Scotch tape. It turns out that if you peel the popular adhesive tape off its roll in a vacuum chamber, it emits X-rays. The researchers even made an X-ray image of one of their fingers.

Who knew? Actually, more than 50 years ago, some Russian scientists reported evidence of X-rays from peeling sticky tape off glass. But the new work demonstrates that you can get a lot of X-rays, a study co-author says.



Freaking Crazy!!!!

I read that this morning. Very cool.

Does this mean X-Ray costs will go down?

  nope, demand will start to go up, increasing price. Then, X-ray market will collapse, and we will bail out 3m.

[Krandall]

Or scotch tape costs are going to skyrocket.. Multi-purpose now.
