Out of curiosity is "superconductivity" an "all or nothing" phenomenon?
ie. Is there such a thing as semi-superconductive?

Resistance does go lower as temperature drops, but when you hit the transition temperature it suddenly drops to zero.
There are other unusual things that happen too, and only with superconductors.
One of the main ones is that Meissner effect they talked about - that's the exclusion of magnetic fields from inside the superconductor, and regular conductors don't do that.
p.s. I am aware that the article talks about O C and not 0 K.
