| Sep 6, 2023 at 6:21 | comment | added | rob♦ | Electrostatic effects are an important systematic effect in Cavendish/Eotvos-type experiments. The modern generation of high-precision torision-balance experiments, which are consistent with Newtonian gravity down to micron distances, have very clever systems for cancelling the electrostatic force between the masses. The most important group is at University of Washington; see npl.washington.edu/eotwash/node/1 | |
