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

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.

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!

It’s a field that need not be expensive or difficult to work in, as [Henk Mulder] shows us with his 4-bit analogue random number generator.

Hardware Scientists have created a random number generator that's truly random—and no, that's not an easy thing to do at all News By Jess Kinghorn published April 16, 2025 ...
