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.

Randomness is incredibly useful. People often draw straws, throw dice or flip coins to make fair choices. Random numbers can ...

A paper published in Nature by University of Colorado, Boulder, postdoctoral student Gautam Kavuri and colleagues, describes ...

“They do this by following rules and relying on algorithms ... or “True Random Number Generators” – they depend on physical observations of natural phenomena to generate values: the ...

Scientists at NIST and the University of Colorado Boulder have created CURBy, a cutting-edge quantum randomness beacon that draws on the intrinsic unpredictability of quantum entanglement to produce ...

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado, have upgraded their previously ...

A new network paradigm can generate meaningfully random numbers—and fast ... status and then scrambling it using another specific algorithm. (You can even, like cybersecurity giant Cloudflare ...

Computer algorithms are often used to generate seemingly random numbers, but a sophisticated enough attacker could figure out what predetermined steps a computer is using and then predict its outputs.
