Outline atom with three crossing elliptical orbits around a small central nucleus
About the Physics Atom Orbits black outline icon
Three long ellipses cross at equal angles around a small circular nucleus, forming the classic atom model. It stands for physics, chemistry, nuclear energy, laboratory research and scientific thinking in general. Use it on school and university course pages, science museum wayfinding, research lab websites, STEM app icons, and slide decks covering innovation or R&D budgets.
The orbits are drawn as narrow rounded ellipses rather than perfect circles, so the overlaps form a clean rosette and the nucleus stays isolated at the center. It pairs with microscope, flask and DNA icons. Keep the stroke thin at large sizes; below 24 px the crossings need extra spacing.
This is the black outline version of the physics atom orbits icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
It downloads free as an SVG vector or transparent PNG in seven sizes, and the free online editor lets you recolor it, apply gold, silver, neon and gradient styles, add animation, or convert it to EPS, PDF and DXF.
