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.

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.
