Sometimes teams go through bad patches, where the shots don’t fall, and the team seems to be flat. That’s fairly normal. The Rockets are currently in 6th place in the Western Conference, but just a ...

A quantum physics lesson for gamblers who talk to slot machines, and a Nobel Prize-winning proof that the universe doesn't ...

Testing random outcomes teaches principles that apply wherever fairness matters. Random outcomes shape more of our world than ...

Nanoscale device employs magnetic tunnel junctions to convert thermal noise into binary signals for random number generation.

Abstract: This paper presents a lightweight hybrid random number generator (HRNG), implemented and evaluated on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The proposed design enhances security and ...

Winning the lottery is a long shot at 1 in 292.2 million odds of taking home the jackpot, but maybe Santa will see how good we've been this year. Wednesday night's Powerball jackpot has now reached $1 ...

Abstract: A 10-Gb/s throughput all-digital true-random-number generator (TRNG) is introduced. The TRNG comprises an entropy source based on a StrongARM latch comparator and a post-processing block ...

Adding numbers to your passwords makes them more secure. In fact, most sites and services these days require alphanumeric passwords at the very least. Some people ...

Chip-based device paves the way for scalable and secure random number generation, an essential building block for future digital infrastructure Chip-based device paves the way for scalable and secure ...

We investigate how current noisy quantum computers can be leveraged for generating secure random numbers certified by Quantum Mechanics. While random numbers can be generated and certified in a device ...
