Bardeen, Cooper, Schrieffer - these three scientists gave the theory to explain about the reason for super conductivity of materials. Hence named as BCS theory.

Superconductivity is a phenomenon in which certain substances at very low temperatures such as 3K or 4K their resistivity totally vanishes and become cent percent conductor. So named as super conductor

But actually, accidentally found by H. Kamerlingh Onnes. He found Mercury lost its resistivity totally at 4.2K.
