Putting a list into random order might seem like an unusual task, but it can be quite useful for many businesses. For example, you might want to randomly assign leads to salespeople, assign jobs to ...

Using a single, chip-scale laser, scientists have managed to generate streams of completely random numbers at about 100 times the speed of the fastest random-numbers generator systems that are ...
