Instead, our model automatically constructs a suitable nonlinear kernel for dynamic modeling and therefore is capable of fitting various types of dynamics.
So far, magnetic tweezers can be divided into two categories: I), tweezers that allow the exertion of high forces but consist of only one or two poles and therefore are capable of only exerting forces in one direction; and II), tweezers that consist of multiple poles and allow exertion of forces in multiple directions but at very low forces.
