Experimental status of corrections to Newton's gravitational law inspired by extra dimensional physics

Corrections to Newton's gravitational law inspired by extra dimensional physics and by the exchange of light and massless elementary particles between the atoms of two macrobodies are considered. These corrections can be described by the potentials of Yukawa-type and by the power-type potentials with different powers. The strongest up to date constraints on the corrections to Newton's gravitational law are reviewed following from the Eötvos- and Cavendish-type experiments and also from the measurements of the Casimir and van derWaals force.
