CODATA Physical Constants Updated

CODATA is one of the global standards for measurements of physical constants (fundamental and otherwise). The 2022 update is now available at arXiv with commentary on how the values were established.

The 2026 CODATA adjustment of the fundamental constants is the next regularly scheduled adjustment. Data being used in this adjustment is required to have been discussed in a publication preprint or a publication prior to 31 December 2026.

The muon g-2 discussion in the preprint is already outdated (in part by design, as it is only considering papers before December 31, 2022).

Any info about the Eurogenes hiatus?

Nope. I have no idea what is up with him. I've honestly been mildly concerned myself.
