Eliminating that excuse, or at least making it statistically implausible, is the idea behind this radioactively random dice roller. It comes to us from [Science Shack] and uses radioactive decay ...

Graph of count rate against time It is possible to find out the half-life of a radioactive substance from a graph of the count rate against time. The graph shows the decay curve for a radioactive ...

We’ve featured other projects using radioactive decay for random number generation before, though they weren’t quite as philosophically intriguing as the DeDeterminator. Mostly they’re just ...

Radioactive decay is a spontaneous and random process. A block of radioactive material will contain many trillions of nuclei and not all nuclei are likely to decay at the same time so it is ...
