- Quark - Wikipedia
Elementary fermions are grouped into three generations, each comprising two leptons and two quarks The first generation includes up and down quarks, the second strange and charm quarks, and the third bottom and top quarks
- Quarks: What are they? | Space
Quarks are elementary particles that are the building blocks of all visible matter in the universe Explore them in more detail here
- Quark | Definition, Flavors, Colors | Britannica
quark, any member of a group of elementary subatomic particles that interact by means of the strong force and are believed to be among the fundamental constituents of matter
- What Are Quarks? Building Blocks of Everything
Quarks are tiny, mysterious particles that, together with gluons and leptons, compose all matter in the universe They are the essential constituents of protons, neutrons, and many other particles, and they obey mind-bending rules that challenge our everyday intuition
- DOE Explains. . . Quarks and Gluons | Department of Energy
There are six different kinds of quarks with a wide range of masses They are named up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom Quarks are the only elementary particles to experience all the known forces of nature and to have a fractional electric charge
- Quarks - HyperPhysics
Quarks are observed to occur only in combinations of two quarks (mesons), three quarks (baryons) There was a recent claim of observation of particles with five quarks (pentaquark), but further experimentation has not borne it out
- Quarks - Experimental Particle Physics – Syracuse University
Quarks are a type of particle that constitute matter Look around you…all of the matter that you see is made up of protons and neutrons, and these particles are composed of quarks There are three pairs (or families) of quarks for a total of six
- Quarks Explained Simply - Andrea Minini
Quarks interact via the strong force, transmitted by particles called gluons, which operate through a property known as color charge You can think of it as a highly unusual form of “magnetism” that binds quarks together with extraordinary strength
