Quarks



Quarks are sub-atomic particles in which create such as neutrons and protons. These are what basically creates atoms. Being able to control something like these could give us unlimited power. Sadly they are too small and most are still theoretical. Most quarks decay into there anti-particle (ex. an unstable Electron decays into a Positron (or Anti-Electron),which happens to be involved with Anti-Matter! Here are all of the quarks, theoretical and proven,along with some other particles:

A four-by-four table of particles. Columns are three generations of matter (fermions) and one of forces (bosons). In the first three columns, two rows contain quarks and two leptons. The top two rows' columns contain up (u) and down (d) quarks, charm (c) and strange (s) quarks, top (t) and bottom (b) quarks, and photon (γ) and gluon (g), respectively. The bottom two rows' columns contain electron neutrino (ν sub e) and electron (e), muon neutrino (ν sub μ) and muon (μ), and tau neutrino (ν sub τ) and tau (τ), and Z sup 0 and W sup ± weak force. Mass, charge, and spin are listed for each particle.

Quarks
As you can see, there are three sections that the Quarks are divided into. These Roman numerals show the particles by generation. Up and Down quarks are in the the first generation for an obvious reason, they were the first discovered, and remain stable unless in a form of a plausible "isotope". Leptons will either bond with a quark while they may decay into one as well. Gauge Bosons are particles of which will either bond or decay into such, yet itself cannot be decayed into by others.
