Systems and methods for acoustic wave enabled data storage

A method, comprising:

• disposing a plurality of particles within a set of wells on a first surface, wherein the set of wells is one of a plurality of sets of wells, and wherein each set of wells is spaced at intervals along a longitudinal axis of a first surface by a spacing distance from an adjacent set of wells;
• transferring each of the plurality of particles within the set of wells from the first surface to a buffer surface while the first surface and the corresponding set of wells is in a static position;
• generating, via a transducer, an acoustic wave with an amplitude corresponding to the spacing distance, such that the buffer surface is displaced at least the spacing distance along the longitudinal axis at a peak amplitude of the acoustic wave;
• and
• returning each of the plurality of particles from the buffer surface to the first surface when the first surface is displaced by an integer multiple of the spacing distance by the acoustic wave, and
• wherein the integer multiple is greater than zero, such that each of the plurality of particles is shifted from an original well to a different well.

A method, comprising:

• disposing a plurality of particles selectively within a set of wells on a first surface, wherein the set of wells is one of a plurality of sets of wells;
• and wherein each set of wells is spaced at intervals along a longitudinal axis of the first surface by a spacing distance from an adjacent set of wells;
• generating a wave motion with an amplitude corresponding to the spacing distance, such that the first surface and the set of wells is displaced from a static position by a distance corresponding to the spacing distance along the longitudinal axis;
• transferring the particles of the set of wells from the first surface to a buffer surface when the first surface is displaced by a first displacement distance;
• and
• returning the transferred particles from the buffer surface to the first surface when the first surface is displaced a second displacement distance,
• wherein the first displacement distance is different from the second displacement distance, such that each of the plurality of particles is shifted from an original well to a different well.
