Abstract
A system includes a data storage medium and a shockwave generator. The data storage medium includes cells and a plurality of layers. Each cell is configured to store information therein. At least two cells are arranged in a horizontal plane within a same layer of the plurality of layers of the data storage medium and at least two cells are arranged in a vertical plane in different layers of the plurality of layers of the data storage medium. The shockwave generator is configured to generate a shockwave signal that travels through a layer of the plurality of layers of the data storage medium. A target cell within the layer stores information responsive to a beam emitted from an emitter targeting the target cell as the shockwave signal is passing through the target cell. The target cell maintains the information after the shockwave signal exits through the target cell.
