Physicists at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have succeeded in creating collimated jets that resemble those that erupt from baby stars and feeding black holes.

Black hole plasma jets created by lab scientists in world first. Story by Liam O'Dell • 7mo. S cientists in New Jersey have, for the first time, captured data around the “sloshing” ...

In a recent study published in Science, an international team of researchers led by the Washington University in St. Louis used the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission to observe the ...

Some supermassive black holes launch fast-moving plasma outflows which emit strong radio signals, known as radio jets. Radio jets were first discovered in the 1970s.

Scientists have found a way to produce "plasma fireballs" just like those made by black holes—but here on Earth. The immensely powerful beam of plasma produced by the scientists—using the ...

Astronomers have spotted two giant plasma jets streaming from a supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy. At a mind-bending 23 million light-years long, they are the longest plasma jets on ...
