Experimental Search for Non-Newtonian Gravity at Submillimeter Distances — •Luca Haiberger, Helmut Wenz, and Stephan Schiller — Institut fuer Experimentalphysik, Universitaet Duesseldorf

In the last decade new theoretical approaches to the unification of the fundamental forces caused a renewed interest in testing the validity of Newton’s Law at short distance. We describe an experiment based on the use of micromachined torsional oscillator with a very high quality factor. Experimental costraints on the existence of new macroscopical gravity-like forces will be presented.
