Very little in this life is truly random. A coin flip is influenced by the flipper’s force, its surrounding airflow, and ...

From jury duty to tax audits, randomness plays a big role. Scientists used quantum physics to build a system that ensures those number draws can’t be gamed.

Upgraded system produces strings of random bits in a process that is fully traceable. The outcome of quantum experiments is ...

For that you’ll need a true random number generator (RNG), and this open-source hardware RNG uses one of the better methods we’ve seen. The device, called RAVA, is based on a property found in ...

Scientists have built the first ever traceable and certifiable random number generator that uses quantum entanglement.

Feel free to share your theories on the best random number generator designs below, or send your best builds straight to the tipsline. Randomly, of course!

Quick! Think of a number between 1 and 10…was it 7? If it was, don't feel too bad, as human brains are notoriously bad at both true randomness and understanding probability. Even if you're too ...

The team's quantum computing method is able to not only generate these incredibly long, highly random numbers, but can also generate them in a reasonable amount of time. Though we're all still a ...
