There are a great variety of ways to build a random number generator, and similarly many ways to generate numbers that appear random, but in a pure mathematical sense generally aren’t. [Danie… ...

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!

They tested their crystal-enabled random number generator against a frequently used pseudorandom number generator called the Mersenne Twister.

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).

The program then translates the measurements into 512 random bits of binary code that can then be parsed by anyone.

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

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