Abstract
A method, system, and apparatus magnetically coupled electrostatically shiftable memory device and method are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes electrostatically decoupling a separate structure and a surface that are magnetically coupled (e.g., an electrostatic force to decouple the separate structure and the surface is generated with an electrode), shifting the separate structure between the surface and a other surface with the electrostatic force (e.g., shifting the separate structure moves the entire separate structure), and magnetically coupling the separate structure to the other surface.
