Description

Experimental tests of gravity are probes for new physics. Theoretical speculations ranging from string theory scenarios to explanations of cosmological phenomena have led to many new experiments. Recent laboratory searches for equivalence principle violations and tests of Newton's 1/r2-law at short distances are reviewed
