A conductor of electricity is said to be a superconductor if it has some resistance at room temperature but when it is brought down to a critical temperature i.e. to a very low temperature such as -270 oC or so , it loses its resistivity completely.
We have not yet found a substance that works as a superconductor at room temperature but a lot of research is on-going. The aim is to try to find metal alloys or other substances that will behave as superconductors at temperatures which are much closer to room temperature than to absolute zero.
Existing known superconductors are metal alloys which have been discovered to have no electrical resistance when they are at low enough temperatures, typically close to absolute zero i.e. 0 Kelvin or about -273o C.
So "superconductivity" is a property of certain substances at given temperatures, not of any substance at any temperature.

How does a superconductor floating work?
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.
Is salt water a superconductor?
No. Salt water is a conductor but not a superconductor.
When was American Superconductor created?
American Superconductor was created in 1987.
What resistance does a superconductor have?
An ideal superconductor has exactly zero losses, thus resistance is zero.
Is water a superconductor?
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.

What is the use of superconductors?
Superconductors could potentially be used in a very wide variety of areas, their introduction into mainstream technology would have a massive impact. Generally their use is in electronics. The problem is current superconductor materials are required to be very cold to stay superconducting, which makes them difficult to use. But if we had a superconductor able to work at room temperature, you could have a superconductor in your phone- which would make the chip vastly more powerful. This is the ultimate goal of superconductor development. That would just be awesome... unfortunately we're not quite there yet.
Is the conductivity of superconductor infinite?
yes
What will happen when electrons pass through a superconductor?
Any electrons flowing through a superconductor will show up as a regular electric current.
