It has no resistance to a electric current
It will transfer electricity w/o any resistance or losses for instance.
Only a few of the materials that have been supercooled have become superconductors, and not all of those are metals. There have even been some organic superconductors discovered.
Sufficiently pure aluminum is superconducting at 1.2 Kelvin. Many of the pure elements are superconductors at sufficiently low temperatures, but some of them require special conditions, such as platinum. Platinum doesn't superconduct unless it's in nanoparticles.
Someone wrote "water". Styrofoam is much lower. If you have a foam cup of hot water and stick your finger in the water, you feel lots of heat. If you hold the cup, you feel far less heat. One of the keys to the low thermal conductivity of foam is that it's mostly just some gas, maybe air or nitrogen, with a support structure of polystyrene or some other plastic type material. Gases are not good conductors of heat.
When gold and nitrogen mix, they form various gold nitride compounds. These compounds can have different properties depending on the ratio of gold to nitrogen atoms in the structure. Gold nitride is a metastable material that can exhibit unique properties, such as being a potential superconductor at low temperatures.
American Superconductor was created in 1987.
No. Salt water is a conductor but not a superconductor.
An ideal superconductor has exactly zero losses, thus resistance is zero.
No, water is not a superconductor. Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with no resistance at very low temperatures. Water does not have the properties necessary to exhibit superconductivity.
A superconductor floating works by using the Meissner effect, which causes the superconductor to repel magnetic fields. This creates a magnetic field that locks the superconductor in place above a magnet, allowing it to float without any friction or resistance.
