A SuperCap is an Electric Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC).  The link takes you to a description of how they work.

Basically a supercap is just a very high capacity capacitor.  They can store 100 times or more the energy in the same size package as an ordinary electrolytic capacitor.  However, they're somewhat picky about their environment.  They don't tolerate heat well, they only come in low voltage ratings.  They're widely used for temporary electric storage in place of batteries.
