Structure of matter, artwork C018 / 0948
Structure of matter. Computer artwork representing the Standard Model of particle physics. Shown here is a molecule of water (top centre), which is composed of two hydrogen atoms (dark blue) and an oxygen atom (light blue). Each atom is composed of electrons (orange, detail shown at top right) orbiting a central nucleus (detail at right). Each nucleus is composed of protons (yellow) and neutrons (purple), which are themselves composed of three quarks. Protons (detail at centre) are composed of two up quarks(blue) and one down quark (orange). Neutrons (detail at centre right) are composed of two down quarks and one up quark. At bottom centre is a superstring, which string theory states are the fundamental constituents of reality

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Structure of Matter, Artwork C018 / 0948" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the intricate world of particle physics. Created by Harald Ritsch, this computer artwork represents the Standard Model, showcasing the fundamental constituents that make up our reality. At the center of attention is a molecule of water, elegantly composed of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom. Zooming in closer, we witness electrons orbiting around each atom's central nucleus. These tiny particles are beautifully depicted in orange hues at the top right corner. Delving deeper into atomic structure, we discover protons and neutrons within each nucleus. Protons shine brightly in yellow while neutrons emanate a regal purple glow. Fascinatingly enough, these nucleons themselves consist of three quarks – two up quarks and one down quark for protons, and vice versa for neutrons. As our exploration continues towards the bottom center of this artwork, we encounter a superstring - an intriguing concept proposed by string theory as the building blocks underlying all matter. Harald Ritsch's illustration masterfully combines artistry with scientific accuracy to provide us with a visually stunning representation of subatomic particles and their interactions. With its meticulous labeling and detailed depictions, this print serves as both an educational tool and an awe-inspiring piece that ignites curiosity about the mysteries hidden within matter itself.
