Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with no resistance.
Unlike the more familier conductors such as copper or steel, a superconductor can carry a current indefinelity without losing any energy.
Mercury was historically the first to show superconductivity, and it is an example of a Type I superconductor.
Its pratical usefullness is limited by the fact that its critical magnetic field is only 0.019 T, so the amount of electric current it can carry is also limited.
