What is recorded here?
Biedermann and colleagues built a horizontal, dual-cesium-atom interferometer and reduced differential noise caused by beam steering through air by enclosing the optical path at low pressure. Moving nearby source masses modulated the measured gravity signal; the authors reported a proof-of-concept sensitivity corresponding to a relative statistical precision of 3 × 10⁻⁴ for a gravitational-constant measurement.

Scientific scope
The reported proof of concept characterizes signal precision; the paper does not supply a calibrated numerical value of G. Its source-mass data use a 2.6-day series, detrending and removal of noisy periods; short-term noise is subject to the stated outlier treatment. The paper models a possible inverse-square-law test rather than presenting a completed independent fifth-force exclusion experiment: the abstract refers to a 10 cm scale, whereas its discussion and figure describe a predicted constraint near 20 cm. Improved 10⁻⁵ and 10⁻⁶ levels require future apparatus changes and are forecasts. Prior 2001 vertical gradiometry and 2007/2014 G measurements remain separately credited. Raw data, simulations and final publication have not been independently reviewed.
