Supercruise allows aircraft to fly at supersonic speeds without afterburners, increasing fuel efficiency and reducing tactical drawbacks. Afterburners are still used to accelerate to supersonic speeds, but supercruise is necessary for modern air superiority. The Concorde and F-22/A Raptor are examples of supercruise-capable aircraft. Supercruise is the ability of an aircraft to fly at supersonic […]

It is used worldwide and can be lent to other countries in need. A Super Scooper is a firefighting aircraft capable of […]
Super pocket bikes are larger and more powerful than regular pocket bikes, often with four-stroke engines and street-legal features. They were originally developed for racing in tight areas, but can now be used on larger tracks. They are not toys and can cause serious injury, so proper safety equipment is essential. Super pocket bikes are […]
Super lice are strains of lice that have developed an immunity to key ingredients in over-the-counter lice removal products. They require treatment with the strongest prescription products and may need additional applications over a longer period of time. Some researchers believe the concept of super lice is a misrepresentation, but there is growing concern that […]
Super Tuesday is a day in early February or March when numerous states hold primary elections, conventions, or caucuses simultaneously, potentially determining which candidate will be nominated to run for president. It is important in American politics due to the large number of delegates at stake and the diverse states involved. Candidates must mount successful […]

It was originally operated by Canadian National Railway, but was taken over by VIA Rail Canada in 1978. The train ran daily service from Montreal to Vancouver, but faced competition from Canadian Pacific Railway’s The Canadian, […]
Low-fat superfoods include dairy, fruits, vegetables, chicken breast, pork tenderloin, and canned seafood. Some dairy products are low-fat or fat-free, and certain types of meat, like pork loin and canned seafood, are low in fat. Fruits and vegetables are often fat-free, but some canned options may contain added oil. Low-fat foods may not necessarily be […]
More Americans watched the 2008 Super Bowl than voted in the presidential election. 148.3 million watched the Super Bowl and 133 million voted. Super Bowl viewership has broken records every year since. The 2008 election had low turnout, but not the lowest in recent history. 21 of the top 45 network primetime broadcasts were Super […]
Super 3G is a wireless networking standard for cell phones that offers downlink speeds of up to 100 Mbps. It is the next stage in the evolution of 3G and is critical to the success of mobile TV and video. O2 plans a commercial trial in late 2006. Super 3G is a wireless networking standard […]
The NFL pays performers the union ladder rate for the Super Bowl halftime show, but it’s an incredible promotional opportunity for artists to increase online streams, album sales, and appearance fees. The NFL covers all production costs, which can exceed $10 million. The halftime show is the biggest promotional vehicle for a music star on […]
Super Slow is a strength training method that involves performing exercises at reduced speeds, resulting in more muscle engagement and less weight needed for the same results. It can be done with free weights or resistance machines and requires fewer repetitions and less frequent gym visits than traditional training. Studies show it can yield better […]
Super greens are nutrient-rich substances that are sold as supplements, often in the form of powders or capsules. They contain significant amounts of vitamins and minerals that are difficult to obtain from traditional fruits and vegetables.

Superbubbles are formed by multiple closely spaced stars dying, creating bursts of energy and stellar winds that heat gases to high temperatures. Researchers have identified them as the source of cosmic rays and use them to track the formation and death of star systems and learn more about the universe. Images of superbubbles are produced […]
Superlubrication is a phenomenon where friction between two materials almost disappears due to crystal lattice misalignment. It occurs in a dry environment and could reduce energy loss and material boundaries, but nanoscale engineering is required. It is not related to superconductivity or superfluidity. Superlubrication is a special material phenomenon where the friction between two materials […]
Superbugs are antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria that are difficult to fight. They are often found in hospitals and can cause serious infections. Overuse of antibiotics has caused many strains to develop, and some may become virtually incurable. Doctors need to identify the type of superbug and the antibiotics it is resistant to in order to […]
Completing a bachelor’s degree in four years used to be the norm, but some students take longer and become “super seniors.” Reasons for this include taking extra classes, working full-time, or having a learning disability. Some students also take a year off to travel or take additional courses, leading to more units than necessary for […]
