The methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil) is the methyl ester of salicylic acid.
Methyl salicylate is produced by esterifying salicylic acid with methanol, the reaction scheme is attached to this answer. In the past, it was commonly distilled from the twigs of Betula lenta (sweet birch) and Gaultheria procumbens (eastern teaberry or wintergreen).
This is covalent network type of solid.
For example, silicon dioxide (SiO₂) is covalent network solid with covalent bonding.
Covalent network solid is a chemical compound (or element) in which the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous network extending throughout the material.
Silicon(IV) oxide has continuous three-dimensional network of SiO₂ units and diamond has sp3 hybridization.
This solids do not have free electrons so they are good insulators.
They have strong covalent bonds, so they melt at extremely high temperature.
Other examples are quartz, diamond, and silicon carbide.

Answer:
The scientist is observing an intensive property of a superconductor.
Explanation:
An intensive property is a bulk property of matter. This means that an intensive property does not depend on the amount of substance present in the material under study. Typical examples of intensive properties include; conductivity, resistivity, density, hardness, etc.
An extensive property is a property that depends on the amount of substance present in a sample. Extensive properties depend on the quantity of matter present in the sample under study. Examples of extensive properties include, mass and volume.
Resistance of a superconducting material has nothing to do with the amount of the material present hence it is an intensive property of the superconductor.
