According to this post on the official V8 Javascript blog, the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) that V8 Javascript uses in Math.random() is horribly flawed and getting replaced with something … ...

That’s why we need a TRNG (True Random Number Generator), but that requires special hardware. Some high-end microprocessors are equipped with an internal hardware TRNG, but it is, unfortunately ...

“This experiment is random so long as you don’t believe in [faster-than-light] travel,” Peter Bierhorst from NIST told Gizmodo. In order to create something random, it must be truly ...

So it turns out the random number generator long used by developers working with Google's V8 JavaScript engine doesn't really generate random numbers at all.

A new random number generator that uses a micro laser developed by researchers at NTU Singapore is a hundred times faster than computer-based systems.

Truly random numbers are a goal for computer science - and a new method may be a leap forward.
