Artwork of the six types of quark
Quarks. Computer artwork of the six types (or " flavours" ) of quark. Quarks are sub-atomic particles which make up the larger particles such as the baryons and mesons. Quarks are divided into six flavours: clockwise from top left: up, charm, top, bottom, strange and down. A proton (an example of a baryon) is made up of three quarks (two ups and one down) held together by other particles known as gluons

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork representing the six types, or "flavours" of quarks. Quarks are fundamental particles that form the building blocks of larger particles like baryons and mesons. The artwork beautifully illustrates these sub-atomic entities, each with its distinct characteristics. Arranged in a clockwise fashion from the top left corner, we encounter the up quark, charm quark, top quark, bottom quark, strange quark, and down quark. These unique flavors contribute to the diverse properties observed in matter. For instance, a proton—a well-known baryon—consists of three specific combinations of these fascinating particles: two ups and one down. It is worth noting that these constituents are held together by gluons—an essential class of particles responsible for binding them. The art piece not only captures the arrangement but also symbolizes our understanding of atomic structure and subatomic interactions within chemistry and particle physics. It serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit to unravel nature's secrets at its most fundamental level. This awe-inspiring composition comes courtesy of Science Photo Library—an invaluable resource for scientific imagery—and offers an intriguing glimpse into this realm where art meets science.
