Researchers have built the fastest random-number generator ever made, using a simple laser. It exploits fluctuations in the intensity of light to generate randomness — a coveted resource in ...

A new random number generator that uses a micro laser developed by researchers at NTU Singapore is a hundred times faster than computer-based systems.

Researchers demonstrate random-number generation by exploiting the intrinsic randomness of vacuum states. The approach may lead to reliable and high-speed quantum random-number generators for ...

There’s no cheating this random number generator The protocol ensures jury duty selections and other draws are truly random and secure ...

A new laser’s chaotic light beam lets the device generate multiple number sequences at once, similar to throwing multiple dice at a time.

Many processes for producing these keys — such as the random number generator that's probably on your computer right now — use an algorithm that spits out a seemingly arbitrary string of numbers.

Using a single laser, scientists have built a new system that generates random numbers fast and at scale.

The method used to generate the digits, a pair of 555 timers sending pulses through linear-feedback shift registers, would at best be considered pseudo-random.
