Eric G. Adelberger is an American experimental physicist at the University of Washington who leads the Eöt-Wash group, renowned for ultra-precise torsion-balance tests of gravity and of the equivalence principle. His experiments have set some of the tightest limits on deviations from Newtonian gravity and possible new forces, earning a share of the 2021 Breakthrough Prize and the 2025 Einstein Prize. Public biographies do not document a Jewish identity; he is included here on the strength of the site's directory source.
