Cushion : Visualisation of quark structure of carbon
Home Decor from Science Photo Library
Visualisation of quark structure of carbon
Quark structure of the carbon nucleus. Computer visualisation of the nucleus of a carbon atom. The most common isotope, carbon-12, consists of six protons and six neutrons. These are represented as triplets of quarks surrounded by quantum clouds of gluons. Protons have two " up" quarks (green) and one " down" quark (pink); neutrons have one " up" and two " down". The clouds of virtual gluons are responsible for mediating the strong nuclear force; this holds the quarks together within the particles and also overcomes the electrical repulsion between adjacent protons

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing visualisation of the quark structure of carbon, offering us a glimpse into the intricate world of atomic particles. At its core, the nucleus of a carbon atom consists of six protons and six neutrons, forming the most common isotope known as carbon-12. In this image, these fundamental building blocks are represented as triplets of quarks enveloped by quantum clouds composed of gluons. Protons are depicted with two "up" quarks in vibrant green and one "down" quark in soft pink hues. On the other hand, neutrons possess one "up" and two "down" quarks. The ethereal clouds surrounding these particles consist of virtual gluons that play a crucial role in mediating the strong nuclear force. This force not only binds the quarks together within each particle but also overcomes electrical repulsion between adjacent protons. By delving into this microscopic realm, we gain insights into how atoms are structured at their very core. The intricacies revealed here shed light on both chemical and nuclear structures while deepening our understanding of subatomic particles. This remarkable print from Science Photo Library allows us to appreciate the beauty hidden within scientific exploration while marveling at nature's ability to construct such complex systems on an unimaginably small scale.
