Which club won the main trophy after removing the word mighty from the name?

In 1993, the Walt Disney Company created a new NHL club and named it the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, based on the success of the recently released film about the children's hockey team, The Mighty Ducks. After 13 years, the new owners of the club changed the form with the emblem and removed the word "mighty" from the name, reducing it to "Anaheim Ducks". It was in this season that the Ducks were able to win the Stanley Cup for the first time in their history.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

What can be obtained from whales?

At one time whaling was very important. Now, for most of us, the very idea of whaling may seem a little strange.

What use can we get from these huge creatures? But it turns out that the amount of valuable products obtained as a result of whale hunting is very large. So, excellent fat is obtained from whale blubber (fatty subcutaneous tissue). This fat is used for lamps, and it is also used in the manufacture of soap.

Many whales have very tasty meat. Fertilizer is made from their bones. From sperm whales, spermaceti is obtained - or fat, which is located in the head cavity. Spermaceti is used to make ointments, cosmetics, and suppositories. Ambergris is also obtained from sperm whales - a very valuable substance produced in their intestines, which is used in the manufacture of perfumes.

The teeth of the sperm whale and the tusk of the narwhal are a very valuable bone, comparable to ivory. And from the skin of a white whale they produce something like leather.

Did you know that all cetaceans are mammals? Their ancestors once lived on land. They still have fins that look like five-fingered hands. But for many millennia, living in the water, they have adapted to such a life.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Created an elastic form of carbon 04.07.2017

A joint research team from the Carnegie Institution, Washington, USA, and Yanshan University, China, has synthesized a material that is carbon in a new form. This material is very, very strong, but the most interesting thing is that it has elastic properties, like rubber. What's more, the new form of carbon is capable of conducting light and electricity through itself, making it possible to use all this in a very wide range of applications, from space and military equipment to household appliances.

A new form of carbon was obtained by applying pressure and high temperature to one of the amorphous forms of carbon, which does not have an ordered structure, called glassy carbon. This starting material was placed under a pressure of 250 thousand times atmospheric pressure and heated to a temperature of about a thousand degrees Celsius. Under these conditions, carbon atoms form chains that connect to each other in various ways. And the result is a form of carbon that simultaneously has the properties of graphite and diamond.

Obtaining a new form of carbon was the result of a number of experiments. In some experiments, scientists exposed glassy carbon to high pressure at room temperature, while in others they simply heated carbon to ultrahigh temperatures. The material obtained as a result of the first experiments had absolutely no elasticity and was not able to restore its shape even after slight deformation. And in the second case, diamond nanocrystals began to form inside the carbon.

And as a result of one of the intermediate experiments, which used heating to a moderately high temperature, the scientists obtained a new carbon material that can compress more than twice as much as other carbon ceramic materials. Moreover, the new elastic carbon is able to completely restore its original shape in the place of sufficiently strong local deformations.

"Lightweight materials with high strength and elasticity are required in a wide variety of applications. In some cases, these materials are used in practice, despite their high cost, the light weight and other unique properties of such materials come to the fore," says Zhisheng Zhao ( Zhisheng Zhao is a professor at Yanshan University.
