Art of table of types of quarks and leptons
Subatomic particles. Computer artwork of a table of subatomic particles. The top six are quarks, which make up particles such as protons and neutrons. The symbols represent the six types (or insflavours) of quark: up (arrow up), down (arrow down), charm (crescent), strange (question mark), top (white cap) and bottom (white base). The lower six are the leptons. Along the bottom row, from left: the electron, the muon, and the tauon. Each of these has an associated neutrino represented above it. The electron, muon and tauon all have the same charge (formally -1), but their mass increases from left to right. Neutrinos have no mass or charge

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate world of subatomic particles, bringing to life the fascinating realm that exists beyond our naked eye. The table of types of quarks and leptons is beautifully depicted in this computer-generated print, offering a visual representation of these fundamental building blocks of matter. At the top six positions on the table, we encounter quarks - essential components found within protons and neutrons. Each type is symbolized uniquely: up with an arrow pointing upwards, down with an arrow pointing downwards, charm represented by a crescent shape, strange denoted by a question mark, top embodied by a white cap, and bottom characterized by a white base. The lower section introduces us to the intriguing world of leptons. Starting from left to right along the bottom row are three distinct particles: electron, muon, and tauon. Interestingly enough, each lepton possesses an associated neutrino positioned above it. While all three leptons carry identical charges (-1), their mass progressively increases as we move from left to right. It's important to note that neutrinos hold no charge or mass but play an integral role in particle physics nonetheless. This mesmerizing composition not only celebrates scientific knowledge but also serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit in unraveling the mysteries concealed within atomic structures.
