Scientific paper

String theory suggests the existence of gravitational-strength scalar fields
(``dilaton'' and ``moduli'') whose couplings to matter violate the equivalence
principle. This provides a new motivation for high-precision clock experiments,
as well as a generic theoretical framework for analyzing their significance.
