KK: /ˈsuːpərfɜrm/

noun

Definition: A very large and successful business organization that often dominates its industry.

Example: The superfirm has expanded its operations to several countries around the world.

superfluid

IPA: /ˈsuːpəˌflʊɪd/

KK: /ˈsuːpərˌfluːɪd/

noun

Definition: A type of fluid that can flow without any resistance, usually found in liquid helium at very low temperatures.

Example: Liquid helium becomes a superfluid when cooled to near absolute zero, allowing it to flow without friction.

superfluidity

IPA: /ˈsuːpəˌflʊɪdəti/

KK: /ˈsuːpərˌfluːɪdəti/

noun

Definition: The ability of a liquid to flow without any resistance, occurring at very low temperatures, particularly in liquid helium.

Example: At temperatures close to absolute zero, helium exhibits superfluidity, allowing it to flow without friction.

supergene

IPA: /ˈsuːpərˌdʒiːn/

KK: /ˈsuːpərˌdʒiːn/

noun

Definition: A set of genes that are closely connected on a chromosome and often work together as a single unit in genetics.

Example: The supergene plays a crucial role in determining the traits of the organism.

supergiant

IPA: /ˈsuːpəˌdʒaɪənt/

KK: /ˈsuːpərˌdʒaɪənt/

noun

Definition: A type of star that is extremely large and bright, with a brightness many times greater than that of the sun.

supergravity

IPA: /suːpəˈɡrævɪti/

KK: /suːpərˈgrævɪti/

noun

Definition: A set of theories in physics that aim to combine general relativity and quantum mechanics, suggesting that gravity is transmitted by a particle called the graviton.

Example: Supergravity is an important concept in theoretical physics that seeks to unify the forces of nature.

superharden

IPA: //ˈsuːpərˌhɑːrdən//

KK: /ˈsuːpərˌhɑːrdən/

verb

Definition: To make something extremely hard or durable.

Example: The new technology can superharden materials for better performance.

superheat

IPA: /ˈsuːpərhiːt/

KK: /ˈsuːpərhiːt/

noun

Definition: The extra heat added to a vapor that raises its temperature above its boiling point without changing it into a liquid.

Example: The superheat of the steam increased the efficiency of the engine.

transitive verb

Definition: To heat a liquid or vapor to a temperature higher than its boiling point or saturation point without it turning into vapor.

Example: The engineer decided to superheat the steam to increase its efficiency in the turbine.

superheated

IPA: //ˌsuːpərˈhiːtɪd//

KK: /ˈsuːpərˌhiːtɪd/

adjective

Definition: Heated to a temperature higher than its boiling point without turning into vapor.

Example: The superheated steam was used to power the turbine.

verb

Definition: To heat something to a temperature above its boiling point without it boiling.

Example: The water was superheated in the microwave, causing it to erupt when disturbed.

superheater

IPA: //ˈsuːpərˌhiːtə//

KK: /ˈsuːpərˌhiːtər/

noun

Definition: A part of a boiler that heats steam to a higher temperature than its boiling point, which helps to improve efficiency and prevents the steam from turning back into water.

Example: The engineer explained how the superheater increases the efficiency of the steam engine.
