These pseudo-random numbers suffice for low stakes uses like gaming, but for scientific simulations or cybersecurity, truly random numbers are important. In recent years scientists have turned to the ...

"As blocks are added, random misalignments gradually modify the stack's centre of gravity. When this exceeds a critical limit, the stack collapses." This approach revealed two main areas of ...

The outcome of quantum experiments is intrinsically unpredictable. Now physicists have combined that feature with blockchain techniques to generate random numbers in a fully transparent process for ...
