# phys: a plasma soup "cooked" in laboratory

<< a team of scientists (..) has for the first time created a particular form of coherent and magnetized plasma jet that could deepen the understanding of the workings of much larger jets that stream from newborn stars and possibly black holes-stellar objects so massive that they trap light and warp both space and time. >>

<< We are now creating stable, supersonic, and strongly magnetized plasma jets in a laboratory that might allow us to study astrophysical objects light years away, >>  Edison Liang.
