Which metals are the best conductors of electricity?

The most efficient conductors have the lowest resistance. All superconductors are the best conductors. Some are pure metals like mercury and others are alloys such niobium-titanium and germanium-niobium. (Note: Carbon, as M NandaGopal has mentioned, is not a metal and is only semi-metallic in its graphene form.

At specific cold temperatures, superconductors are created from the metals I have listed. Mercury becomes superconductor at 4.2K. However, “room temperature” was not specified in this question.
