Supernoobs (also Super Noobs) is a Canadian flash-animated series created by Scott Fellows, produced by DHX Media/WildBrain for Teletoon and Cartoon Network, 2015-2019. Four middle schoolers with battle orbs fight a space virus; 52 episodes, TV-Y7-FV.
Supernova
A supernova, the explosive death of a star, releases about 10^51 ergs and can briefly outshine its entire galaxy; two mechanisms cause it: core collapse and white-dwarf detonation.
Supernova (2000 film)
Supernova (2000) is an MGM science fiction horror film credited to Thomas Lee but actually directed by Walter Hill and Jack Sholder with a Francis Ford Coppola re-edit, starring James Spader and Angela Bassett; it grossed $14.8 million on a $90 million budget.
Supernova (2020 film)
Supernova (2020) is Harry Macqueen's British drama starring Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci as a couple facing young-onset dementia on a camper van road trip across England; premiered at the 2020 BFI London Film Festival, 89% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Supernova (Aespa song)
"Supernova" is a 2024 song by aespa, pre-released May 13 from the album Armageddon as one of its two lead tracks with "Armageddon"; produced by Dem Jointz with KENZIE, it earned a Perfect All-Kill and five Song of the Year awards.
Supernova classification
Supernova classification is the sorting of observed supernovae into types such as Ia, Ib, Ic, and II, defined by spectra and light curves near maximum brightness.
Supernova Cosmology Project
The Supernova Cosmology Project is a Berkeley Lab collaboration led by Saul Perlmutter that announced in 1998 the first evidence that the universe's expansion is accelerating.
Supernova impostor
A supernova impostor is a non-terminal eruption of a massive star, also called a giant eruption of a luminous blue variable, that mimics a supernova while the star survives.
Supernova Invest and Crédit Agricole
Supernova Invest is a French deeptech venture capital firm founded in 2017 by Amundi and the CEA, managing over €700 million, with Crédit Agricole holding a 40% stake.
Supernova Legacy Survey
The Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) was a five-year observational program at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, begun in 2003, that discovered and monitored hundreds of distant Type Ia supernovae to measure dark energy.
Supernova neutrinos
Supernova neutrinos are few-tens-of-MeV neutrinos of all flavors emitted when a massive star's core collapses, carrying away about 99 percent of the released binding energy.
Supernova nucleosynthesis
Supernova nucleosynthesis is the creation of chemical elements during supernova explosions, via thermonuclear burning, neutron capture, and neutrino reactions; its channels include Type Ia and core-collapse supernovae, which forge iron-peak and heavier elements like gold.
Supernova rate
The supernova rate is the frequency with which supernovae occur, measured per galaxy, per luminosity or mass, or per volume; the Milky Way averages about 2 to 3 per century.
Supernova Refsdal
SN Refsdal is a gravitationally lensed supernova, discovered in Hubble imaging in November 2014, the first supernova seen with multiple resolved images from gravitational lensing.
Supernova remnant
A supernova remnant (SNR) is the expanding cloud of hot gas, stellar debris, and high-energy particles left after a star explodes, glowing from radio to X-rays for thousands of years.
Supernumerary breasts
Supernumerary breasts (polymastia, accessory or ectopic breast tissue) are congenital extra breast tissue along the embryonic milk line, affecting 2–6% of women, most often in the axilla, classified by Kajava's 1915 system.
Supernumerary nipple
Supernumerary nipple (polythelia) is a benign extra nipple along the embryonic milk line, prevalence about 1-6%, usually on the chest; renal association not confirmed; rare cancers reported.
Supernumerary nostril
Supernumerary nostril, also called accessory nostril or triple nostril, is an extremely rare congenital malformation with one or more extra nostrils but no duplicated nasal septum or cavity; about 60 cases reported since 1906.
Superorganism (band)
Superorganism is an eight-member London-based indie pop collective formed in early 2017, fronted by Japanese vocalist Orono Noguchi and rooted in the Eversons; known for the viral 2017 single "Something for Your M.I.N.D." and the albums Superorganism (2018) and World Wide Pop (2022) on Domino.
Superoscillation
Superoscillation is the phenomenon in which a band-limited function oscillates locally faster than its highest Fourier component, allowing light to form features smaller than the diffraction limit.
Superovulation
Superovulation (multiple ovulation induction, ovarian hyperstimulation) is hormone treatment, mainly FSH or equine chorionic gonadotropin, making a female ovulate many eggs; used in livestock embryo transfer and human IVF, first described by Pincus in 1940.
SuperOx
SuperOx (ЗАО «СуперОкс») is a Russian manufacturer of second-generation high-temperature superconducting wire, founded in Moscow in 2006, which supplies HTS tape to fusion projects including Commonwealth Fusion Systems.
Superoxide
Superoxide, also written O₂•⁻, is the radical anion of oxygen formed when a single electron is added to molecular oxygen, occurring in salts like potassium superoxide and in cells.
Superoxide dismutase
Superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), metalloenzyme family converting superoxide to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide; discovered 1969 by McCord and Fridovich in erythrocuprein; isoforms CuZnSOD, MnSOD, EC-SOD.
Superoxide dismutase, Nickel-type
Nickel-type superoxide dismutase (NiSOD, sodN) is a nickel-cofactored bacterial enzyme, discovered in Streptomyces in 1996, that detoxifies superoxide via a Ni(III)/Ni(II) nickel-hook active site, mainly in marine cyanobacteria and actinomycetes.
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are nanoscale iron oxide crystals, usually magnetite or maghemite, coated for biocompatibility and used as MRI contrast agents, drug carriers, and heat mediators in magnetic hyperthermia.
Superparamagnetic limit
The superparamagnetic limit is the maximum data density of magnetic storage, reached when grains shrink so small that thermal fluctuations spontaneously flip bits and erase data.
Superparamagnetism
Superparamagnetism is the magnetic behavior of small single-domain nanoparticles whose magnetization is flipped by thermal energy, giving strong magnetization in a field but no hysteresis.
SuperPark Vantaa
SuperPark Vantaa is a Finnish indoor activity park in Tammisto, Vantaa, opened January 2015 as the chain's third park. Over 7,000 m² with Freestyle Hall, Game Arena, and Adventure Area, timed wristband admission, owned by SP Capital since 2020.
Superpave
Superpave (Superior Performing Asphalt Pavements) is a system for specifying asphalt materials and designing hot mix asphalt pavements, developed under the Strategic Highway Research Program and released in 1994.
