X-Rays from Scotch tape...

It's all over the news, so it's not really news...

But, I have to register my incredulity at the apparent finding that unpeeling scotch tape from its roll in a vacuum can produce X-Rays.. apparently with enough flux to get an X-Ray photo of a human hand !

(Can this be another 'cold fusion' hoax ? Surely someone has reproduced the result by now...)
