Finding π using random numbers and probability. This short demonstrates a Monte Carlo approach, showing how randomness and statistics can converge to an accurate estimate of pi through repeated trials ...

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 ...

Edwin Castro of Altadena, California, holds the record for largest lottery winner ever with $2.04 billion Publix grocery store in Newnan, Georgia, sold a winning Mega Millions ticket worth $983 ...

Abstract: Random number generation is essential for applications in simulation, numerical analysis, and data encryption. The ubiquitous presence of system-on-chip (SoC) field-programmable gate array ...

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 ...
