Conductors allow electrons to flow through them. Wood is a poor conductor, copper is a good conductor. Semiconductors are in-between. This gives them unusual and useful properties. They make good transistors which in turn make good binary on-off switches. Superconductors make really really good conductors. They allow electricity to flow with hardly any loss from beginning to end. These also have great properties such as creating powerful magnetic fields. The problem with superconductors is that they need to be cooled to about -300 C to be effective. If anyone ever develops a room-temperature superconductor, the resulting technological revolution will make the internet revolution seem small in comparison. D.
