That Roll of Tape Sitting in Your Drawer
24-Oct-2008

...has a surprising use! -

Physicists have discovered an unbelievably large source of x- rays in common household sticky tape. Unrolling tape in a vacuum has been found to produce x-rays so intense that in the future, tape may replace x-ray machines.

You can test this yourself: If you unroll tape in an extremely dark room, you will see a faint glow.

It seems that there are now a million-and-ONE uses for duct tape!
