    Not a computer. A conductor. A superconductor is a material, a chemical. Finding the right combination of elements to make a new material with specific properties is usually called a discovery. (As there are a finite number of elements, and a finite, though large, number of ways to combine them, especially for homogenous, non biological molecules.)

    Designing a process to create that material would be an invention.
