At normal temperatures the electrons, pushed by the voltage, make the best individual progress they can through the maze of atoms, and they are impeded by the atomic dance. If the conductor is progressively chilled, the resistance to the current should fall off as the atomic dance slows down. In theory, the resistance should diminish in a smooth curve until it vanishes entirely at Absolute Zero, where the electrons would encounter no more opposition than would...
