Quarks

n. hadron, elementary subatomic particle, any of the particles that make up atomic particles (Physics)

QuArK (aka Quake Army Knife), is a free toolkit and environment for developing 3D computer game levels for a large variety of popular games, mostly first-person shooters using engines similar to or based on the Quake engine by id Software. QuArK has the ability to directly edit maps, and to a limited extent, models. It can import, export, and convert sounds, textures and various other game assets. It is also possible to move or change dynamic game objects without the need to recompile the whole map which makes finetuning of details much easier and quicker.

In particle physics, the quark (pronounced ) is one of the two basic constituents of matter (the other is the lepton). Quarks make up protons and neutrons, with there being exactly three quarks within each kind of particle.There are six different types of quark, usually known as flavors: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. (Their names were chosen arbitrarily based on the need to name them something that could be easily remembered and used.) The strange, charm, bottom and top varieties are highly unstable and died out within a fraction of a second after the Big Bang; they can be recreated and studied by particle physicists. The up and down varieties survive in profusion, and are distinguished by (among other things) their electric charge. It is this which makes the difference when quarks clump together to form protons or neutrons: a proton is made up of two up quarks and one down quark, yielding a net charge of +1; while a neutron contains one up quark and two down quarks, yielding a net charge of 0.
