Dr Zhou’s method, by contrast, employs a process called electron-field emission. This dispenses with the heat. Also, instead of having a single metal filament release the electrons, it relies on myriad carbon nanotubes to do the same thing. The result is a compact source of X-rays that can be controlled with great precision.

OK, not a clear picture, but can you imagine a cheaper xray machine? And have you seen anything cooler than this? It gives me geek bumps all over.
