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.
