1. A memory apparatus, comprising:
a media platform having a first substrate comprising silicon dioxide;
a read/write mechanism, including:
a read/write platform having a second substrate comprising silicon dioxide; and
one or more cantilever tips connected with said read/write platform;
a media platform movement mechanism operably attached to said media platform and configured to move said media platform in response to media control signals; and
a read/write platform movement mechanism operably attached to said read/write platform and configured to move said read/write platform in response to read/write platform control signals;
wherein at least one of said one or more cantilever tips can cause the formation of an anomaly on said media platform.
