A new laser-based random number generator is the fastest of its kind
The device spits out number sequences more than 100 times quicker than other generators

A new laser can generate many sequences of random numbers at once, similar to throwing multiple dice at a time. Such ultrafast random number generators could someday help secure online communication or power sophisticated computer simulations.
