What Is Supercapacitor?
The superblock is the heart of a file system. It stores all the information about the files in that file system and ensures everything is kept in order. The superblock is like the brain of a computer: it controls where things are stored and how to access them. The superblock records the size of blocks on a disk (the smallest unit of storage), other block specifics, and the dimensions of each block group (a set of blocks that are part of one larger unit). The superblock also contains information about where inodes (another data structure) are located. Inodes store file metadata information about what a file is called and what data it has that's not displayed in directory listings or when viewing files directly on disk. Imagine a life where batteries were a thing of the past, and you could charge anything, anywhere. A world where you could use your phone every day without worrying about it dying. A universe where there was no "next to charge" when you were watching a movie or playing games. Well, that world is here! And it's called supercapacitors. Supercapacitors are similar to batteries in that they store energy for later use, but they have some differences that set them apart from the pack. They have far greater capacitance than batteries (up to 1,000 times more), which means they can store even more energy in a smaller space. They also last much longer than batteries. You can charge them hundreds of thousands of times without losing any capacity! You can even fill them with hydrogen (or other gases) if you want to make them explode safely! The best part? Supercapacitors don't need maintenance as batteries do. You drop them on your device and forget about them until you need to charge up again.
