Michelson-Morley categorically refuted and falsified the aether hypothesis. DNA was confirmation of and predicted by the inheritence component of natural selection. Relativity invalidated fixed- and universal-frames-of-reference models of mechanics.
New models imply falsification or rejection of prior models.
Semiconductors were more an emergent materials-properties discovery, though with analogues in earlier systems (diodes, vacuum tubes, physical gates and valves, etc.). Not so much a model as a discovered behaviour.
