Supercavitation

Supercavitation is the use of a single gas cavity large enough to envelop an entire object moving through water, cutting skin friction drag by roughly 90%.

SuperCDMS

SuperCDMS (Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search) is a dark matter experiment using cryogenic silicon and germanium detectors, operating about 2 kilometers underground at SNOLAB near Sudbury, Ontario, since 2026.

Supercell

A supercell, also known as a supercell thunderstorm, is the least common and most dangerous thunderstorm type, a long-lived rotating storm producing the vast majority of violent tornadoes.

supercell (group)

supercell (スーパーセル) is a Japanese music group led by composer ryo, which rose to fame with Hatsune Miku songs on Nico Nico Douga and made its major debut in 2009.

Supercentenarian

Supercentenarian: a person validated to have lived to 110 or older. Key facts: rarity (1 in 7 million in the US), Jeanne Calment's 122-year record, mortality plateau debate, APOE/FOXO3 genetics, and age validation methods.

Supercharged (The Offspring album)

Supercharged is The Offspring's eleventh studio album, released October 11, 2024 on Concord Records, produced by Bob Rock. Ten tracks; single "Make It All Right" hit #1 on both Alternative and Active Rock radio charts.

Supercharger

A supercharger is a compressor, driven by the engine itself, that packs more air into a piston engine so aircraft engines keep their power at high altitude.

Superchick

Superchick (Superchic[k]) was a Chicago Christian pop-rock band formed 1999 by Max Hsu, fronted by Tricia Brock; albums Karaoke Superstars through Reinvention, hit "Stand in the Rain," disbanded 2016.

Superclásico

Superclásico: the Buenos Aires football derby between Boca Juniors and River Plate, first played 24 August 1913 (River won 2-1). Over 260 official matches, Boca leading 92-88; defined by La Boca origins, class identities, and the 2018 Libertadores final.

SuperCLUE

SuperCLUE is a Chinese-language evaluation framework and leaderboard for large language models, launched in 2023 as the successor to CLUE and widely cited when Chinese AI companies announce top model rankings.

Supercluster

A supercluster is one of the largest known assemblies of galaxies, a chain or sheet of clusters and filaments spanning tens to hundreds of millions of light-years.

SuperCollider

SuperCollider is a free and open-source platform for real-time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, created by James McCartney in 1996 and community-maintained since its 2002 GPL release.

Supercompact cardinal

A supercompact cardinal is a large cardinal in set theory defined by Reinhardt and Solovay around 1968, much stronger than measurability and stronger than every Woodin cardinal.

Supercomputer

A supercomputer, also called a high-performance computer, is a system of many computers working in parallel to model complex systems like weather, climate, and the universe.

Supercomputing Conference

The Supercomputing Conference, known as SC, is the leading annual conference for high performance computing, co-sponsored by the ACM and IEEE Computer Society and held every year since 1988; the November TOP500 list is published there.

Supercomputing in India

Supercomputing in India is the national effort to build supercomputers for scientific research, beginning with C-DAC's indigenous PARAM series in 1990 and continuing under the National Supercomputing Mission since 2015.

Superconcentrated electrolyte

A superconcentrated electrolyte is a battery electrolyte with salt concentrations above roughly 3 M, where ion pairing dominates and anion-derived films stabilize lithium-metal and high-voltage electrodes.

Superconducting cable

A superconducting cable is a power transmission cable whose superconducting conductor, cooled below its critical temperature, conducts with essentially zero resistance, carrying up to seven times the power of a conventional cable.

Superconducting cavity quantum memory

A superconducting cavity quantum memory is a quantum memory for superconducting quantum processors that stores quantum information in high-quality microwave cavities, decoupling storage time from qubit processing speed.

Superconducting diode

A superconducting diode is a superconducting circuit element, the analog of a semiconductor diode, carrying supercurrent without resistance in one direction and resistively in the other; proposed in 2007 and first observed in 2020.

Superconducting diode effect

The superconducting diode effect is the nonreciprocity of the critical supercurrent in a superconducting device, first clearly demonstrated in 2020, enabling dissipationless rectification for superconducting electronics.

Superconducting diode effect in nanowire Josephson junctions

The superconducting diode effect in nanowire Josephson junctions is a nonreciprocal transport phenomenon in which the critical current differs by direction, so the junction is superconducting one way and resistive the other.

Superconducting generator

A superconducting generator is an electrical generator in which one or both windings use superconducting wire, promising higher efficiency and lower weight but requiring cryogenic cooling, with no commercial power service yet.

Superconducting hydride

A superconducting hydride is a hydrogen-rich compound that becomes superconducting under pressures of tens to hundreds of gigapascals, including H3S at 203 K and LaH10 at 250-260 K.

Superconducting magnet

A superconducting magnet, or superconducting electromagnet, is an electromagnet with superconducting wire coils that produce strong, stable fields, used in accelerators, MRI, and fusion reactors.

Superconducting magnetic energy storage

Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) is a technology that stores electricity as the magnetic field of a superconducting coil, offering over 95 percent efficiency and near-instantaneous response.
