Visualisation of quark structure of uranium
Quark structure of the uranium nucleus. Computer visualisation of the nucleus of a uranium atom. The most common isotope, uranium-238, consists of 92 protons and 146 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

Discover the fascinating world of atomic structure with our Media Storehouse Poster Prints featuring the captivating visualisation of the quark structure of uranium. This Science Photo Library image showcases the nucleus of a uranium atom, specifically uranium-238, which consists of 92 protons and 146 neutrons. Bring this intriguing representation of subatomic particles into your home or office, and ignite curiosity and inspiration. Our high-quality poster prints are perfect for educational settings, laboratories, or any space where scientific exploration is valued.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 42cm x 50.7cm (16.5" x 20")
Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with portrait (vertical) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing visualisation of the quark structure of uranium, offering us a glimpse into the intricate world of atomic nuclei. Specifically, it depicts the nucleus of a uranium atom, with an emphasis on its most common isotope, uranium-238. Comprising 92 protons and 146 neutrons, this image portrays these subatomic particles as triplets of quarks enveloped by quantum clouds of gluons. Protons are represented by two "up" quarks in green and one "down" quark in pink, while neutrons possess one "up" and two "down" quarks. The significance of the virtual gluon clouds cannot be overstated; they play a vital role in mediating the strong nuclear force that binds the quarks together within these particles. Furthermore, they overcome the electrical repulsion between adjacent protons to maintain stability within the atomic nucleus. This photograph not only highlights the complexity and elegance inherent in atomic structures but also underscores how our understanding of particle physics continues to evolve. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our universe at its most fundamental level. Captured by Science Photo Library, this print offers both scientists and enthusiasts alike an opportunity to marvel at the beauty hidden within even the tiniest building blocks that make up our world.
