To my knowledge, there is true randomness in a lot of places where quantum mechanics are involved. Put a radioactive source in front of a geiger counter, and you got a sequence of events that are randomly spaced in time.

Like one of these.
A good (expensive, military grade) TRNG will will use Radioactive decay which is a true random phenomena.
