Sufficient progress towards redefining the International System of Units (SI) in terms exact values fundamental constants has been achieved. Exact Planck constant h, elementary charge e, Boltzmann k, and Avogadro NA from CODATA 2017 Special Adjustment Fundamental Constants are presented here. These recommended to 26th General Conference on Weights Measures form foundation revised SI.
The comparison of different atomic transition frequencies over time can be used to determine the present value temporal derivative fine structure constant $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ in a model-independent way without assumptions on constancy or variability other parameters, allowing tests consequences unification theories. We have measured an optical frequency at 688 THz $^{171}\mathrm{Y}\mathrm{b}^{+}$ with cesium clock 2 times separated by 2.8 yr and find for fractional variation ratio...

In QED corrections, terms order alpha(2) were included by a perturbation expansion Zalpha. Our total precision three times better than that accepted mass.
As an unstable light pure leptonic system, positronium is a very specific probe atom to test bound state QED. In contrast ordinary QED for free leptons, the theory not so well understood and approaches deserve highly accurate tests.

The recent measurement of the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen allows for most precise extraction charge radius proton which is currently conflict with other determinations based on $e\ensuremath{-}p$ scattering and spectroscopy. This discrepancy could be result some new muon-specific force O(1--100) MeV carrier---in this paper we concentrate vector mediators. Such an explanation faces challenges from constraints imposed by $g\ensuremath{-}2$ muon electron as well precision spectroscopy atoms....
