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.

Very little in this life is truly random. A coin flip is influenced by the flipper’s force, its surrounding airflow, and gravity. Similar variables dictate rolling a pair of dice or shuffling a deck ...

While randomising a deck of cards gets more difficult as you add more cards, it turns out that the same isn't true for the ...

It's worth thinking about how schema design and security considerations interact with each other. The decisions you make ...

NIST’s CURBy beacon transforms quantum “spooky action” into certified random numbers, guarded by a blockchain-like Twine ...

Some numbers are so unimaginably large that they defy the bounds of modern mathematics, and now mathematicians are closing in ...

The Eternal Die spins off from Lost in Random, putting players behind the mask of the first game’s antagonist, Queen ...

Those almost certainly come from quantum physics. Harness those edge correlations, and “you can turn that into the best random number generator that the universe allows,” Shalm said. But here’s a ...

A man went from a longtime Virginia resident to one of the state’s jackpot winners, lottery officials said. Norman Sullivan, ...
