Most people treat Excel as a rigid calculator, completely missing its capacity for chaos. Excel's built-in randomization tools can generate numbers, shuffle existing lists, and build mock timelines in ...

Toss and turn. Count sheep. Stare at the ceiling. Sigh when looking at the clock on the nightstand. Read a book. Or simply give up and phone-scroll. Let’s face it: Falling asleep can be difficult.

Open your pocket knife and take a look at its blade. There’s a good chance it isn’t a pristine slab of steel, but rather that the area closest to the handle — an unsharpened bit called the ricasso — ...

Abstract: Entropy is a crucial resource in the domains of cryptography, artificial intelligence, and science. This paper introduces RAVA, a true random number generator based on avalanche noise. RAVA ...

How complex ecosystems arise and persist has long been a central ecological issue. Attempts to answer this question have typically proceeded by looking at how the percentage of stable assemblages, ...

Abstract: Quantum random number generators (QRNGs) are a burgeoning technology used for a variety of applications, including modern security and encryption systems. Typical methods exploit an entropy ...

Securing wireless communications in internet-of-things (IoT) requires both generation and synchronization of random numbers in real-time. However, resource constraints on an IoT device limit the use ...

In this year of multiversal delights, as the likes of Everything Everywhere All at Once were plastering smiles on the faces of befuddled theatergoers everywhere, it somehow makes perfect sense that ...
