superconductive

IPA: /ˌsuːpəˈkɒndʌktɪv/

KK: /ˌsuːpərkənˈdʌktɪv/

adjective

Definition: Relating to a state in which a material can conduct electricity without resistance, usually at very low temperatures.

Example: The researchers discovered a new superconductive material that could revolutionize energy transmission.

superconductor

IPA: /ˌsuːpərkənˈdʌktər/

KK: /ˌsuːpərkənˈdʌktər/

noun

Definition: A material that allows electricity to flow through it without any resistance, usually at very low temperatures.

Example: Scientists are researching new materials that can act as superconductors at higher temperatures.

supercontinent

IPA: /ˈsuːpərˌkɒntɪnənt/

KK: /ˈsuːpərˌkɒntɪnənt/

noun

Definition: A very large landmass that is believed to have existed in the past, from which the current continents have separated.

Example: Scientists study the supercontinent Pangaea to understand the history of Earth's landmasses.

supercooled

IPA: /ˈsuːpərˌkuːld/

KK: /ˈsuːpərˌkuːld/

adjective

Definition: Cooled to a temperature below its normal freezing point without turning into a solid.

Example: The water remained liquid even at temperatures below zero because it was supercooled.

verb

Definition: To cool a liquid below its freezing point without it becoming solid.

Example: The scientist supercooled the water to study its properties.

supercritical

IPA: /ˌsuːpəˈkrɪtɪkəl/

KK: /ˌsuːpərˈkrɪtɪkəl/

adjective

Definition: Referring to a state or condition that exists above a specific critical point, such as temperature or pressure, where certain properties change significantly.

Example: In supercritical fluid extraction, the solvent is in a state above its critical temperature and pressure, allowing it to dissolve substances more effectively.

supercurrent

IPA: /ˈsuːpəˌkʌrənt/

KK: /ˈsuːpərˌkʌrənt/

noun

Definition: An electrical flow that occurs in a superconductor, allowing electricity to move without resistance.

Example: The supercurrent in the wire allowed for efficient energy transfer without any loss.

superefficient

IPA: /ˌsuːpərɪˈfɪʃənt/

KK: /suːpərɪˈfɪʃənt/

adjective

Definition: Extremely effective in achieving maximum productivity with minimal waste or effort.

Example: The new technology is superefficient, allowing us to save both time and resources.

superelevation

IPA: /ˌsuːpərɪˈleɪʃən/

KK: /ˌsuːpərɪˈleɪʃən/

noun

Definition: The angle or height difference that allows for adjustments in elevation, often used in contexts like roads or railways to improve safety and performance.

Example: The superelevation of the road helps vehicles maintain speed while turning safely.

superfamily

IPA: /ˈsuːpəˌfæmɪli/

KK: /ˈsuːpərˌfæmɪli/

noun

Definition: A group of related organisms or molecules that are classified together, ranking below an order and above a family in biological taxonomy.

Example: The superfamily of primates includes humans, monkeys, and apes.

superfetation

IPA: /ˌsuːpərfɪˈteɪʃən/

KK: /ˌsuːpərfɪˈteɪʃən/

noun

Definition: The process of developing a second fetus while already having one in the uterus, which can happen in some animal species.
