The institute will develop quantum sensors to measure incredibly small forces. Gravity, while seemingly strong, is actually the weakest of the four fundamental forces. By using these super-sensitive sensors, researchers hope to detect tiny gravitational effects that could reveal if gravity behaves differently at a quantum level, helping to test competing theories.
