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!

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.

Using a single, chip-scale laser, scientists have managed to generate streams of completely random numbers at about 100 times the speed of the fastest random-numbers generator systems that are ...

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

Current methods of generating random numbers can produce predictable results. Researchers said the new method could generate higher-quality random numbers with less computer processing.

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

Need a random number? Sure, you could just roll a die, but if you do, you might invite laughter from nearby quantum enthusiasts. If it’s truly, unpredictably random numbers you need, look no … ...

A perfectly provable random number generator is the bedrock of good cryptography. This scientist wants to make one.
