Volume 57 Issue 6, September 2019

This month's cover image by Diane Lincoln vividly depicts the complex structure of the proton. Here, the blue spheres represent up quarks and antiquarks while the red spheres represent down, in contrast to Fig. 5 on page 371, wherein colors are used to represent the strong force “charges” instead. See for more on this particle’s fascinating story.
