A superconductor.
A superconductor is the only material that completely repels magnetic fields, acting as an insulator from magnetism. This phenomenon is known as the Meissner effect, where a superconductor expels magnetic fields from its interior when it transitions to a superconducting state.
Copper has a conductivity of 57 MS/m, whereas Silver has a conductivity of 66.5 MS/m. Bosch Automotive Engineer's Handbook 2nd Ed. 1987 Delta Press ISBN:1-85-226-00-9
Currently, the superconductor with the highest critical temperature ever recorded is Mercury Barium Thallium Copper Oxide or Hg0.2Tl0.8Ca2Cu3O, which has a critical temperature of 139 K at one atmosphere. This superconductor is a type of ceramic copper oxide and its critical temperature was determined in 1995 by Chakoumakos, Dai, Wong, Sun, Lu, and Xin. Apparently, metal-copper oxide ceramic superconductors have high critical temperatures, which might unlock the key of synthesizing a high temperature superconductor that is superconductive under room temperature conditions.
Electrical conductivity is 6.7 Ms/m (mega-siemens / metre) which is approximately the same as 1010 carbon steel. Technetium, cooled to a few degrees above absolute zero, becomes a superconductor. Please see the links.
Pure mercury will exhibit superconductivity at 4.2 degrees Kelvin. It was the first superconductive material that H. Kamerlingh Onnes found in 1911.
No. Salt water is a conductor but not a superconductor.
American Superconductor was created in 1987.
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.

yes
Any electrons flowing through a superconductor will show up as a regular electric current.
