Short-range inverse-square law experiment in space
The objective of ISLES (inverse-square law experiment in space) is to perform a null test of Newton`s law on the ISS with a resolution of one part in 10⁵ at ranges from 100 mm to 1 mm. ISLES will be sensitive enough to detect axions with the strongest allowed coupling and to test the string-theory p...
