Metal Print : Visualisation of quark structure of silicon
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Visualisation of quark structure of silicon
Quark structure of the silicon nucleus. Computer visualisation of the nucleus of a silicon atom. The most common isotope, silicon-28, consists of 14 protons and 14 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 silicon, offering us a glimpse into the intricate world of atomic nuclei. Specifically, it illustrates the nucleus of a silicon atom, focusing on its most common isotope, silicon-28. Comprising 14 protons and 14 neutrons, this isotope's composition is represented by triplets of quarks enveloped in quantum clouds of gluons. The image vividly portrays the arrangement of these subatomic particles within the nucleus. Protons are depicted with two "up" quarks in green and one "down" quark in pink, while neutrons possess one "up" and two "down" quarks. The remarkable aspect lies in how these virtual gluons form ethereal clouds that facilitate both holding the quarks together within particles and overcoming electrical repulsion between adjacent protons. By delving into such minute details at an atomic level, this photograph sheds light on crucial aspects of nuclear physics and chemistry. It underscores how understanding the structure and behavior of atoms contributes to our knowledge across various scientific disciplines. Science Photo Library presents this awe-inspiring print as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit to unravel nature's mysteries. As we delve deeper into subatomic realms like those captured here, we gain invaluable insights that shape our comprehension not only of elements like silicon but also broader concepts surrounding particle physics and nuclear structures.
