Show affiliationsThis paper describes recent experimental work by the University of Washington Eöt-Wash group on two different topics: a test of the strong equivalence principle and a search for sub-millimetre scale deviations of the Newtonian 1/r2 law. Our strong equivalence principle test was motivated by the resurgence of interest in `gravitational' scalar fields, which typically lead to violation of the equivalence principle for gravitational self-energy. Our sub-millimetre experiment was motivated by predictions of fundamentally new effects from `large' extra dimensions and from the dilaton and moduli scalar particles of string theory.
