Computer artwork of a Lissajous figure or Bowditch curve, which is the graph of a system of parametric equations which describe complex harmonic motion.
15 Jun 2006 --- Atomic structure. Conceptual computer artwork of five electron orbits around a central nucleus. This is a classical schematic Bohr model of an atom. In quantum physics it is thought that the electrons do not actually follow a defined orbit, but instead inhabit areas of probability around the nucleus. --- Image by © Mehau Kulyk/Science Photo Library/Corbis
13 Jun 2007 --- Superstrings, conceptual computer artwork. The superstring theory is a Theory of Everything (Grand Unification Theory), which seeks to unite gravitational force with the other fundamental forces (electromagnetism and nuclear forces) that are already described by quantum mechanics at the atomic level. The theory states that fundamental particles such as quarks and electrons are not points of energy or matter, but result instead from the vibrations of one-dimensional 'string-like' entities on a far smaller scale. --- Image by © Mehau Kulyk/Science Photo Library/Corbis

20 Dec 2006 --- Atomic structure, computer artwork. Schematic representation of the structure of the atom. At the centre of the model is the nucleus, made up of a tightly packed cluster of protons and neutrons. In this classical model, the nucleus is orbited by electrons with defined orbits. Modern quantum physics has shown, however, that is impossible to locate the exact position of electrons around the nucleus. --- Image by © DAVID NICHOLLS/Science Photo Library/Corbis
