Motivées en grande partie par la possibilité d'observer des signatures des dimensions supplémentaires compactes, les recherches expérimentales des déviations de la pesanteur newtonienne aux distances courtes se sont améliorées dans leur sensibilité par plusieurs ordres de grandeur ces cinq dernières années. Nous passons en revue les dispositifs essentiels des expériences responsables des limites actuelles sur de nouveaux effets dans l'intervalle de quelques microns à quelques centimètres, et nous discutons les perspectives pour le futur proche.

Motivated in large part by the possibility of observing signatures of compact extra dimensions, experimental searches for deviations from Newtonian gravity at short distances have improved in sensitivity by many orders of magnitude in the past five years. We review the essential features of the experiments responsible for the current limits on new effects in the range from a few microns to a few centimeters, and discuss prospects for the near future.
