In a new study, researchers compared the orientations of nerve fibers in a human brainstem using two advanced imaging techniques: diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI)-based tractography and ...

The sodium azide they contain is used up when they deploy, and the gas produced, nitrogen, is not harmful (The air we breathe is 78% nitrogen). The dust released from air bags may have some sodium ...

In 1964, engineer Yasuzaburou Kobori devised a sodium azide-burning solution, which was combined with silicon dioxide and potassium nitrate, according to Chemical & Engineering News.

In the late 1990s the airbag maker Takata introduced a system that replaced sodium azide with ammonium nitrate—a fertilizer and well-known explosive. This change proved disastrous.

According to the FDA, some people have put the test solution onto the swab before swabbing their nose, resulting in the test solution being swirled around their nostrils. It's unclear how many ...
