Obtaining true random numbers is of great importance for cryptography, however, it can be challenging to obtain a large bit rate. Here, the authors make use of the oscillating behaviour of a Mott memristor, which exhibit rapid oscillations, and therefore a large bit rate, alongside impressive endurance.
