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

You might be familiar with how Python and C can work together, by way of projects like Cython. The new PythoC project has a unique twist on working with both languages: it lets you write ...

PythoC lets you use Python as a C code generator, but with more features and flexibility than Cython provides. Here’s a first look at the new C code generator for Python. Python and C share more than ...

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo, catch a tiger by the toe – so the rhyme goes. But even children know that counting-out rhymes like this are no help at making a truly random choice. Perhaps you remember when ...

Abstract: True random number generator (TRNG) is widely used in the field of hardware security as a key component that can enhance system security. In this paper, a TRNG with multiple entropy sources ...

Find all of Teen Vogue's questions and games stories here. We’ve all been there, staring down the silence of a conversation with no clear path. This is where a set of random questions to ask comes in ...

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 ...

Inverter generators like this model have less distortion in electrical current frequency than standard models, so they’re better for powering sensitive electronics and smart household appliances. Two ...

Abstract: This letter presents a fully digital true random number generator (TRNG) and noise generator (NG) based on a chaos system. We design the chaos random number generator (CRNG) using the ...

The neoTRNG aims to be a small and platform-agnostic TRUE random number generator (TRNG) that can be synthesized for any target technology (FPGAs and even ASICs). It is based on simple free-running ...

The first of four 520-tonne steam generators has been installed in the first unit of the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant in the UK. (Image: EDF) The carefully planned installation involved lifting ...
