Summary: the 'Magic Number', i.e. the fine structure constant, α, which has been known to be about 1/137, has been measured more accurately. From the article:
> α = 1/137.03599920611. (The last two digits are uncertain.)
Implications: this constant underpins much of why the universe is the way it is. A tiny bit higher or lower would result in drastically different universes. Measuring it more precisely allows scientists to make more accurate predictions and hence rule out / refine potential models of our universe.
