SUMMARY
Superconductors are defined as materials that exhibit zero electrical resistance at low temperatures. Practical examples of superconductors have been produced for years, although they typically require very low temperatures to function. The ongoing research aims to achieve room-temperature superconductors, which would eliminate the need for extensive cooling systems. This advancement would represent a significant breakthrough in the field of superconductivity.
