The temperature at which the electrical resistivity of a metal can drop to zero.
What is critical temperature?
200
This is what the pairs of electrons become.
What are Cooper Pairs?

200
This is why Type I Superconductors are not very useful.
What is Type I Superconductors' limited superconductivity?
200
This is a result of higher critical temperatures.
What is "Easier to attain superconductivity?"
