SEP 01, 2000
If gravity leaks out into macroscopic extra dimensions, we may soon find departures from the inverse‐square law at millimeter separations.

At the recent Marcel Grossmann Meeting on General Relativity in Rome, Jens Gundlach of the University of Washington’s Eot‐Wash laboratory reported a provisional result from the group’s examination of gravity at submillimeter distances. At distances as small as 0.2 mm, he said, the group’s specially designed torsion balance has not, as yet, revealed any departure from Newtonian
