From jury duty to tax audits, randomness plays a big role. Scientists used quantum physics to build a system that ensures those number draws can’t be gamed.

“Using random sequences allowed us to test the aggregation of sequences very different to the small number of known amyloids and to provide a principled evaluation of existing amyloid predictors ...

But because this is nature and random things happen, not all sunflowers ascribe to this pattern. While Fibonacci numbers are common structures for sunflower seeds, a recent study evaluating data from ...

Any random sequence of events, such as the lapping of ocean waves on the shore, can become a clock – and physicists have now devised a mathematical procedure for making such an odd timepiece and ...

In experiments dubbed the Random Genome Project, researchers have integrated DNA strands with random sequences into yeast and mouse cells to find the default transcriptional state of their genomes ...

Let’s focus on sequences of numbers between 0 and 1. A uniformly distributed, random sequence is one where the points have an equal probability of landing anywhere on the interval.

RICHMOND, Va. — A winning ticket in Virginia's "Bank a Million" lottery seemed surprising at first glance. But math experts say the sequence was really no more or less unusual, or lucky, than ...

To generate a random array of non-duplicate values, we’ll use three dynamic array functions: RANDARRAY (), UNIQUE (), and SEQUENCE (). How to generate random values without duplicates, sort of ...

"We have now shown in two different studies that random sequences of amino acids can give rise to new functions that are beneficial to the bacterium such as antibiotic resistance. This suggests that ...
