Sticky Tape generates X-rays

This sounds really weird but it also appears to be correct. Researchers at the University of California have reported in Nature today that by opening a reel of tape in a vacuum they are able to take an x-ray image of a finger. But how? It appear that the radiation is released when tape is ripped from a surface. For more take a look at [www.sciam.com]
