At the basic level, the nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and neutrons.

At the more fundamental level, the nucleus of an atom is made up of quarks and other sub-subatomic particles, such as leptons and gauge bosons. Two down quarks and one up quark make up a neutron, while one down quark and two up quarks make up a proton.
