Quark structure of carbon atom nucleus
Visualisation of a carbon nucleus. This image represents the nucleus of a carbon atom. The nucleus is made of twelve particles, called nucleons (six protons and six neutrons). Each nucleon is composed of three quarks surrounded by a quantum cloud of virtual particles. Protons have two up quarks and one down quark, neutrons have two down and one up. The nucleons are bound together by the strong nuclear force, the same force which binds the quarks together within each nucleon. The colours in the image reflect the three charges of the strong force; known as red, green and blue. Each nucleon has one quark of each " colour" (charge)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate quark structure of a carbon atom nucleus. The image provides a visual representation of the nucleus, which consists of twelve particles known as nucleons. These nucleons are composed of six protons and six neutrons, each made up of three quarks surrounded by a quantum cloud of virtual particles. Protons contain two up quarks and one down quark, while neutrons possess two down quarks and one up. The strong nuclear force binds these nucleons together within the nucleus, just as it binds the individual quarks within each nucleon. In this image, the colors represent the three charges associated with the strong force: red, green, and blue. It is fascinating to observe that every nucleon has one quark representing each "color" or charge. This visualization offers valuable insights into atomic structure and subatomic particle physics. The photograph was captured by Science Photo Library, providing an exceptional glimpse into the complex world of chemistry and nuclear structure. It serves as a reminder that even at microscopic levels, nature's intricacy never fails to astound us.
