abstract
Recent cosmological observations have provided numerous new observations with increasing precision that have led to the era of precision cosmology. The exquisite quality of these observations opens new possibilities towards measuring fundamental constants with good precision and at scales which are complementary to the laboratory ones. In particular, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization spectra contain a wealth quantity of information, well beyond the basic cosmological parameters. In this paper, we update the precision on a cosmological determination of $G$ by using the latest Planck data release (PR4) in combination with the latest baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) data release 1 and the primordial Helium fraction from BBN. We demonstrate a precision of $1.8\%$, corresponding to a $\sim25\%$ improvement compared to the literature. This measurement is compatible with laboratory ones within one standard deviation. Finally, we show that this cosmological measurement of $G$ is robust against several assumptions made on the cosmological model, in particular when considering a non-standard dark energy fluid or non-flat models.

Observational implications of Wald-Gauss-Bonnet topological dark energy
Wald-Gauss-Bonnet topological dark energy is viable against late-universe data but statistically loses to ΛCDM, and its perturbations are nearly indistinguishable from ΛCDM.

Bridge the Cosmological Tensions with Thawing Gravity
Thawing Gravity, a scalar-tensor theory with a non-minimally coupled scalar field, fits the full cosmological dataset better than LambdaCDM and yields H0=71.78+/-0.86 and S8=0.793+/-0.012.

Investigating a Possible Variation of the Gravitational Constant Through Gas Mass Fraction Measurements and Type Ia Supernovae Observations
Non-parametric reconstruction of G(z) from cluster f_gas and Pantheon+ under L∝G^1.46 finds constant G consistent, with only mild low-z departures allowed.

Hubble Tension and the G-step Model: Re-examination of Recent Constraints on Modified Local Physics
The paper argues that the G-step model remains a viable solution to the Hubble tension by widening error bars, adopting a weaker luminosity-gravity scaling, and reinterpreting Earth history and distance-ladder data.
