I felt it was important to create something that brings the focus back to who they were,” says director Skye Borgman.

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 ...

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 ...

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 — ...

If you ask any director, screenwriter, actor, stunt performer, gaffer, editor, cameraperson or other Hollywood worker, they’ll likely tell you a variation on the same story: “My dream, ever since I ...

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 ...
