Art of a neutron showing constituent quarks
Proton structure. Computer artwork showing the constituent parts of a proton. The proton is made up of three quarks (blue and white) held together by gluons (red). The quarks making up the proton are the down quark (arrow down) and two up quarks (arrow up). The down quark has a charge of -1/3, and each up quark has a charge of 2/3, giving the proton an overall electrical charge of +1. The gluons have no charge

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library delves into the intricate world of particle physics, showcasing the mesmerizing structure of a proton. Through vibrant colors and meticulous detail, this computer-generated image reveals the hidden constituents that make up this fundamental building block of matter. At the heart of this artistic representation lies a neutron, exposing its constituent quarks in all their glory. The three quarks are depicted as blue and white entities, intricately intertwined by vivid red gluons. These powerful gluons serve as the glue holding the quarks together within the proton's core. The composition unravels further to highlight each individual quark's characteristics. A downward-pointing arrow signifies the presence of a down quark with an electrical charge of -1/3. Accompanying it are two upward-pointing arrows representing up quarks, each carrying an electrical charge of 2/3. This unique combination results in an overall positive electrical charge for the proton, making it an essential player in atomic interactions. As we delve deeper into this artwork's subatomic realm, we witness how science and art seamlessly merge to bring forth awe-inspiring visuals that unravel nature's mysteries. With its fusion of chemistry and creativity, this print serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit to understand our universe at its most fundamental level – one brushstroke at a time.
