Random number generator or seeder

[zed]

Just saw this http://arstechnica.com/science/2016/02/on-chip-random-key-generator-made-using-carbon-nanotubes/
Surely a way to get a true random number generator, would be to use a device eg on a phone to measure the incoming lux?

btw:if you patent it, you owe me beer

There's actually plenty of high quality entropy happening right on the chip, the tricky part is to get an implementation without an NSA backdoor in the microcode.
