A "superatom" is a term used in chemistry and material science to describe a cluster of atoms that exhibit collective properties similar to those of a single atom. These clusters can behave in unique ways that are not present in individual atoms or larger assemblies of atoms. Superatoms are typically formed by combinations of metal atoms or a combination of metal and non-metal atoms.
