- Title
Physics: Gravity up close.
- Abstract
The article highlights the research made by Andrew Geraci and his colleagues at Stanford University, California, on the behavior of gravity on a very short distance. Accordingly, the researchers were able to measure gravity over 10 micrometers and found no anomalies. The research was done by placing a 1.5-microgram gold cuboid on a silicon cantilever a quarter of a millimeter long. The article further notes that the result of the research will refute the theory that undiscovered particles might cause its observed behavior to break down on very short distances.
