its not elements as such so much as components, i.e. not chemistry but electronics more details here http://www.ieee-virtual-museum.org/collection/tech.php?id=2345819&lid=1
The transistor replaced the vacuum tube, allowing radios to get much smaller and portable.
Vacuum tubes are non-ohmic devices
Sound cannot travel through vacuum, but unless there is sufficient insulation, sound might travel through the material the tube is made of.
there must be vacuum in the mercury barometer because if air enters the tube the barmeter would become faulty as air pressure will change.
This beam of electrons is emited by the cathode under voltage difference.
In 1907 American inventor Lee De Forest invented the three-electrode vacuum tube

the vacuum tube
Tube Choke Condensor Vibrator (used in HV battery supplies) Valve is another term for vacuum tube, used in old radios.
A vacuum tube does not contain any gases. All the gases are evacuated from the tube and only vacuum is left.
A vacuum tube is simply a tube with no oxygen nor carbon dioxide in it (aka no air).
Millman's theorem
who made the vacuum tubes
The transistor replaced the vacuum tube, allowing radios to get much smaller and portable.
Kilobytes and vacuum tubes are not in the same category. At best, a twin triode vacuum tube is a single flip-flop and can hold 1 bit of information, making a vacuum tube about 0.000122 of a kilobyte.
There are no vacuum tubes in a transistor. A vacuum tube is an electronic device that uses a heated cathode in a vacuum to direct and control an electron stream to an anode, also known as the plate. The vacuum tube is old technology, but it is still used today, typically in high power applications such as transmitters. A transistor is an electronic device that uses solid-state semiconductors to similarly control an electron stream. The transistor is newer than the vacuum tube. It offers lower power, smaller size, easier use and other enhancements over vacuum tubes, within limits, of course, such as voltage and power.
an electron tube containing a near-vacuum that allows the free passage of electric current.
