As far as I know scotch tape doesn't truly "glow" in the dark without movement. What it does do is release light, AND x-rays, when pulled apart. There are some things that are still unknown about this process, but the basic reasoning is this.
Whenever a bond is broken energy is released. Scotch tape forms a type of chemical interaction (Van der Waals) with the surface it is bound to, and when you break this by pulling on it some of these connections are broken. Every so often it has the right strength to cause the release of quanta in the right spectrum to cause visible light.

Yes, Casio offers some G-Shock watches with glow-in-the-dark features. These watches use luminescent material on the hands and markers that can absorb light and then emit a glow in low-light conditions.
Glow-in-the-dark paint was invented by Bob Switzer and Joe Switzer in the 1930s. They were looking for a way to make bicycle lights more visible at night and discovered a luminescent paint that glowed in the dark after being exposed to light.
Luminous objects emit light through a process called luminescence, where they convert energy into light. This light emission is what makes them glow in the dark. Non-luminous objects do not have this capability, so they do not glow in the dark.
Neon does not glow in the dark but it does glow in black light or UV light. Because neon colors are so bright when illuminated with light, it gives the appearance that neon colors would glow in the dark.No, it is a colourless gas but it will glow red if you pass an electrical current through it.Neon is also another way of describing brightly coloured things, but they don't glow in the dark either.
No, glow in the dark stars are not considered luminous objects. They are phosphorescent, meaning they absorb light and then slowly release it in the form of glowing light. Luminous objects emit their own light, while phosphorescent objects like glow in the dark stars require an external light source to charge their glow.

No, Scotch tape is not conductive.
Scotch Tape was created in 1930.
Richard drew invented Scotch Tape. And Masking tape and Duct tape. he invented scotch, Masking, and duct tape! he invented scotch, Masking, and duct tape!
3M is in Minnesota. This is where Scotch tape is made.
Certainly! This happens when one is allergic to the scotch tape or one of the material used to make scotch tape.
he invented scotch tape in 1925

scotch tape is a brand of tape. there are many kinds though. like magic tape for wrapping papers, or normal tape. you can buy them at staples.
Scotch Tape was invented by Richard Drew. It was invented in 1903.
Duct tape , because it has sticky chemicals in it . if scotch tape gets wet it will fall off!
Banks first used Scotch tape to mend torn currency during the Depression.
