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.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a massive plasma jet erupting from the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy M87. This “blow-torch”-like jet, traveling near the speed of ...

Samsung's F8500 plasma TV is a real looker. With outstanding brightness and deep blacks even in bright rooms, this could be the plasma to beat this year.

Inside one of the galaxies is a massive black hole which is spewing a powerful stream plasma at its neighbor. Stranger still, it appears to be aiming at the neighboring galaxy preferentially.

The material in a black hole's jet is plasma, which is composed of atoms that have been heated so much that their electrons are torn away.

During a plasma transfusion, the liquid component of a donor's blood is put into another person's bloodstream to increase the blood's volume and clotting ability.

A black hole at the heart of a distant galaxy is blasting a neighboring galaxy with a jet of plasma moving at near light speed.

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 ...

Learn about Dr. Charles Richard Drew, who discovered a method for long-term storage of blood plasma and organized America's first large-scale blood bank.

Stellar-mass and supermassive black hole coronas have some similarities, and this is great news for black hole physicists.

The research team created a spinning disk of plasma that mimics the superheated gas in accretion disks that gradually feed black holes.

Supermassive black holes have been known to belch gigantic beams of plasma into space – and now scientists have managed to recreate these fireballs in a lab at CERN.
