Andrew Geraci, professor in the University of Nevada, Reno physics department, demonstrates an apparatus that is of part of an experiment that uses similar technology to his gravitational wave detector. This equipment uses levitated nanospheres in an optical trap for investigations of the gravitational force at the micron length scale, where some theories in high-energy physics predicts there will be a deviation from the Newtonian inverse square law of gravitation.
