Subject Time and frequency have a privileged role in physics and applications because they are the most precisely measured physical quantities. The wrist watch, for example, is the only artifact accurate within 1E-5 – 1E-6 at a cost affordable to all consumers. Atomic clocks exhibit the amazing accuracy of 1E-15, and a stability better by … [More Info]

The reduction of the viscous drag force exerted on thin bodies (e.g. wings and blades) moving in a fluid is of great technical interest (for example for drag reduction of airplanes or optimization of gasturbines). One of the mayor keys to drag-reduction is the delay of transition to turbulence in the boundary layer. Due to … [More Info]
