Many car airbag inflators contain small amounts of a toxic molecule called sodium azide, or NaN 3 (one sodium atom and three nitrogen atoms combined). Sodium azide breaks down very quickly when heated ...

the researchers used both techniques to image a human brainstem sample fixed in paraformaldehyde and then stored in PBS with sodium azide. The results showed that polarization properties of phase ...

Then they used an active nitrogen source such as sodium azide to prepare the rare-earth transition-metal nitride compounds. "We think we can systematically investigate Ruddlesden-Popper nitrides ...

The second selective ingredient is sodium azide. This chemical inhibits the growth of Gram-negatives. The differential ingredient is esculin. If an organism can hydrolyze esculin in the presence of ...

PREVIOUS work on the decomposition of alpha-lead azide have been performed at temperatures close to its ignition temperature 1,2. The assumption has been made that the products of such ...
