TL;DR Summary

Physicists have successfully measured the smallest gravitational pull ever recorded on a particle, using a superconducting magnetic trap to levitate a 0.43-gram particle and measure a gravitational force of just 30 attonewtons, on the verge of the quantum realm. This achievement brings scientists one step closer to understanding how gravity and quantum mechanics interact, potentially solving mysteries of the universe such as the origin of the universe and the behavior of black holes.
