All a vacuum is, is less pressure than earths atmosphere. They are probably in your house right now, a normal incandescent light bulb is a vacuum that's why they pop when you break them because the pressure is equalized faster than sound travels creating a mini-sonic boom. I think you may be confusing anti-matter, which is created in a vacuum, to the vacuum itself. But vacuum technology should be completely safe as far as I know. - Anon Wed, 02 Jan 2013 00:33:54 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/computing-and-gadgets/3795-vacuum-tube-technology-could-make-faster-circuits#comment-47182 Modern vacuum tubes wouldn't be big clumsy glass things like the old ones. The technology could probably be replicated on a much much smaller scale, and use durable materials. I'd imagine they'd look like LEDs but maybe be even smaller than that - not something that's going to shatter if you drop it! - Groundbreaker Mon, 03 Sep 2012 10:59:09 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/computing-and-gadgets/3795-vacuum-tube-technology-could-make-faster-circuits#comment-47169 How are we to be sure that the nano scale vacuums cannot escape from the device? I imagine if the device was dropped and it cracked then the nano vacuum would be released and could do much damage to nearby objects. - miscon Fri, 31 Aug 2012 06:08:31 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/computing-and-gadgets/3795-vacuum-tube-technology-could-make-faster-circuits#comment-47144 Interseting that the technology applied to vacuum tubes comes full around to todays nanoscale of circuits, what vacuum range would apply to achive the disired result - Frank Giacona Fri, 24 Aug 2012 11:19:19 +0100
