Scotch Ray

Who: UCLA
What: Scotch Tape and X-Rays
Why: To make X-Ray taking cheaper.



In one word, you can summarize the whole new meaning to Scotch Tape.

X-RAY

Who would have ever thought that something that's in our pencil cases or that lets posters and pictures cling to our walls could have such a high meaning? Scientist Juan Escobar said that "The power you could get from just peeling tape was enormous." Mr. Escobar has suggested that with some cleaning, we just might be able to make cheaper X-Ray machines so that places where electricity is expensive or rare to get.

But after the whole process, the big question is for these tape-peelers, is this not safe for the naive people that do this? Don't take this the wrong way! You may continue to use Scotch Tape to tape everything from pictures to your 3 year-olds toy together.
