In this work, we consider the Yukawa-type and power-type non-Newtonian corrections, which induce amplification of gravitational interaction on submillimeter scales, and analytically calculate deviations produced by the atomic gravitational…
We review the experimental constraints on additional macroscopic Yukawa forces for interaction ranges below 1 cm., and summarize several theoretical predictions of new forces in this region. An experiment using 1 kHz mechanical oscillators…
We point out that if the baryon number violating neutron-antineutron oscillation is discovered, it would impose strong limits on the departure from Einstein's equivalence principle at a level of one part in $10^{19}$. If this departure owes…
Extensions of the standard models of particle physics and cosmology often lead to long-range fifth forces with properties dependent on gravitational environment. Fifth forces on astrophysical scales are best studied in the cosmic web where…

Axion is a light pseudoscalar particle of much interest for physics of elementary particles and for astrophysics. We review the recently obtained constraints on axion to nucleon coupling constants following from different experiments on…
We discuss experimental schemes to measure the Casimir force and short range forces from hypothetical modified gravity with unprecedented sensitivity using highly sensitive prototype gravitational wave detectors as displacement sensors. The…
Casimir force searches provide among the most sensitive laboratory probes of new short range interactions. Existing constraints rely almost exclusively on a single geometry. We show that Casimir geometry constitutes an independent…
The Standard Model of elementary particles and their interactions does not include the gravitational interaction and faces problems in understanding of the dark matter, dark energy, strong CP violation etc. In continuing attempts to solve…
We calculate the constraints on the constants of hypothetical long-range interactions which follow from the recent measurement of the Casimir force. A comparison with previous constraints is given. The new constraints are up to a factor of…
We study the constraints on gravity scale $M_P$ in extra-dimension gravitational theory, obtained from gravity-induced processes. The obtained constraints are subdivided into strong (though not robust) and reliable (though less strong). The…
We report on a new constraint on gravitylike short-range forces, in which the interaction charge is mass, obtained by measuring the angular distribution of 5 A neutrons scattering off atomic xenon gas. Around 10^7 scattering events were…
We systematically examine corrections to the gravitational inverse square law, which are due to compactified extra dimensions. We find the induced Yukawa-type potentials for which we calculate the strength \alpha and range. In general the…
We report on a search for non-Newtonian forces that couple to mass, with a characteristic scale of ${\sim}10~\mu$m, using an optically levitated microsphere as a precision force sensor. A silica microsphere trapped in an upward-propagating,…
We consider recent progress in constraining the axion-nucleon coupling constants and the Yukawa-type corrections to Newtonian gravity from experiments on measuring the Casimir interaction. After a brief review of previously obtained…
We propose a quantum mechanical method of constraining non-Newtonian gravity at the nanometer range. In this method, a hybrid electro-optomechanical system is employed. Applying a strong driving field, we can obtain normal mode splitting of…
A new systematic correction for Casimir force measurements is proposed and applied to the results of an experiment that was performed more than a decade ago. This correction brings the experimental results into good agreement with the Drude…
The recent discrepancy between proton charge radius measurements extracted from electron-proton versus muon-proton systems is suggestive of a new force that differentiates between lepton species. We identify a class of models with gauged…
The search for CP violating forces between nucleons in the so-called axion window of force ranges lam between 2x10^-5 m and 0.02 m is interesting because only little experimental information is available there. Axion-like particles would…
The standard model particles can be gauged in an anomaly free way by three possible gauge symmetries namely ${L_e-L_\mu}$, ${L_e-L_\tau}$, and ${L_\mu-L_\tau}$. Of these, ${L_e-L_\mu}$ and ${L_e-L_\tau}$ forces can mediate between the Sun…
