Silver is not a practical superconductor.
It's superconducting transition temperature
is well below that of aluminum at 1 K. Silver
is of course an excellent normal conductor.

There is a new discovery (will be announced formally tomorrow)
of magnesium dibromide with a superconducting
temperature of 39 K. This "low temperature" superconducting
material may eventually take the place of niobium compounds
which require 4 K (liquid helium) cooling in MRI type
applications. A great scientific discovery (the simple ones are) but not a financial play yet.
