Randomness is incredibly useful. People often draw straws, throw dice or flip coins to make fair choices. Random numbers can enable auditors to make completely unbiased selections. Randomness is also ...

Sometimes you need random numbers — and properly random ones, at that. Hackaday Alum [Sean Boyce] whipped up a rig that serves up just that, tasty random bytes delivered fresh over MQTT. [Sean] tells ...

If you want to start an argument in certain circles, claim to have a random number generation algorithm. Turns out that producing real random numbers is hard, which is why people often turn to strange ...

Random numbers are crucial for computing, but our current algorithms aren’t truly random. Researchers at Brown University have now found a way to tap into the fluctuations of skyrmions to generate ...

Chip-based device paves the way for scalable and secure random number generation, an essential building block for future digital infrastructure Chip-based device paves the way for scalable and secure ...

The QRNG uses a fluctuating quantum system to guarantee unpredictable randomness, which can be used in Web3 gaming and gambling. Researchers at Australia National University have teamed up with ...
