Researchers have developed a chip-based quantum random number generator that provides high-speed, high-quality operation on a ...

A team of international scientists has developed a laser that can generate 254 trillion random digits per second, more than a hundred times faster than computer-based random number generators (RNG).

Hackers love random numbers, or more accurately, the pursuit of them. It turns out that computers are so good at following our exacting instructions that they are largely incapable of doing anything ...

As it turns out, there are many uses for randomness in scientific analyses (as well as everyday applications). For example, scientists often use random number generators to create mock data ...
