I'm assuming electrical conductor - Several spring to mind. Carbon is pretty bad at conducting electricity but it will do it, which is why electrical resistors are made of them. Semiconductors such as Silicon and Germanium can be coerced into conducting electricity when atomically altered by a doping process. These last two are what make this website (and every single website on the planet) possible. These two elements are used to make the single most important thing in the computing world - No not Microsoft or Apple - They make the transistor, invented over 50 years ago but without which modern computers would not exist.
