superconductivity
A condition of certain chemical elements (niobium, tantalum, vanadium, tin, and others) when they are held at a temperature near absolute zero. At this low temperature, these metals lose almost all their electrical resistance and become strongly diamagnetic. They try to orient themselves across a magnetic field, rather than aligning with the field.
