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.

Read this on my phone yesterday and it blew my mind, figured you'd guys would get a kick out of it.

This could really be the future of cheap x-ray machines.
