Tests of the Gravitational Inverse-Square Law below the Dark-Energy Length Scale — mentioned by ISL

Apologies for the delayed reply -- HN's noprocrast setting is a powerful taskmaster. What we do is search for deviations from Newton's inverse square law. Depending upon the distance over which an experiment is performed, the ISL can be correct to a precision as high as ~10^-10 [1]. In particular, our group works to test whether the inverse-square law (or indeed gravity at all) happens as predicted at distances shorter than 100 microns [2]. It still amazes me that at distances shorter than half the diameter of a human hair, nobody has any idea whether gravity even happens. Newton's early…
