The best conductors of electricity are superconductors; these offer zero resistance.
Many materials will superconduct when sufficiently cooled - most superconductors need to be cooled to within a few degrees of absolute zero, metals including tin and aluminum will superconduct. Somewhat ironically, gold will not superconduct - gold is a very good conductor at room temperatures.
In 1986, some ceramic based materials were found to superconduct at high temperatures - still around -90oC, so not all that high - but making the effect much more useful as liquid nitrogen can be used to cool the materials.
The simple answer to the best METAL conductor. Silver.

Why does gold conduct electricity?
Gold is a metal, and any metal on the periodic table conducts electricity.
Can a dead battery break the circuit?
no as the battery is made of metal and metal conducts electricity
Is a silver belt buckle a insulator or conductor?
silver is metal. metal conducts heat and electricity.
Material that conducts thermal energy well?
All elements will conduct heat to some extent. metals conduct heat and electricity the best; metalliods conduct heat and electricity good too but not as good as metals. nonmetals are poor conductors.
What is the metal plate that conducts electricity?
the question makes no obvious sense, but it is a characteristic of all metals that they are good conductors of electricity.
What materials conduct electricity the best metal plastic or wood?
metal conducts electricity the best
Metal conducts electricity better as it becomes what?
As a metal becomes colder, it generally conducts electricity more efficiently.
Which material is malleable and conducts electricity wood ice metal or oil?
Metal is the material that is malleable and conducts electricity.
What type of metal conducts electricity the best?
Silver is the best conducter, followed by copper then gold.
What conducts electricity other than metal?
carbon is not a metal and can conduct electricity
Is rubbidium conducts electricity?
Rubidium is silvery metal with a valence electron in its outer shell. It conducts electricity.
What does a metal wire do in a circuit?
conducts electricity
How well does gold conducts heat and electricity?
because gold is a metal it conducts heat and electricity very well
Why does gold conduct electricity?
Gold is a metal, and any metal on the periodic table conducts electricity.
Is aliminium a metal or a non-metal?
aluminium is a metal and also conducts electricity
You are working on a science project to see what thing conducts the best electricity how is a dime connected with electricity anyways?
i think cause dime is metal
What conducts electricity that isn't metal?
We all know metal is a conductor of electricity yes but surprisingly water also conducts electricity to! We know this because when you touch a socket or anything electrical we get electrocuted!
