Can i add this to your collection , its a really mind blowing use for scotch tape. I`m a terror for bookmarking little oddities when browsing on-line.
 X-rays detected from Scotch tape
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.

The article goes on to say that perhaps this could lead to the production of relatively cheap x-ray machines .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rapid pulses of X-rays, each about a billionth of a second long, emerged from very close to where the tape was coming off the roll.

Just mind blowing.
