What this work contributes

Reports linearity from 10 nN to 300 micronewtons and 11.9 percent calculated error for an applied 10 nN force.

Where the evidence stops

Published abstract inspected; resolution, error and uncertainty are distinct and cannot be transferred to MF-01.

Read status

Publisher/institutional record or author abstract checked; full methods review remains required.
