Atom optics moves into space Sep 6

Physicists are drawing up plans for a new space mission that could carry out a range of experiments in fundamental physics. The mission, which would involve placing an atom interferometer aboard a spacecraft, aims to observe the effects of quantum gravity for the first time. Other instruments will look for violations of the equivalence principle – one of the foundations of general relativity – as well deviations in Newtonian gravity, which would reveal the existence of higher dimensions. They could even search for hypothetical “dark matter� particles called axions.
