Atom optics moves into space

Physicists are drawing up plans for a new space mission that might carry out a sort of experiments in fundamental physics. The mission that will also involve placing an atom interferometer aboard a spacecraft aims to view the effects of quantum gravity for the first time.

Other instruments would look for violations of the equivalence principle – one of the foundations of universal relativity – also deviations in Newtonian gravity, which will reveal the existence of higher dimensions. They can even search for hypothetical “dark matter” particles called axions
