In this episode, Ben and Morgan break down the classic 'particle in a box' model, tracing its math and physics, investigating boundary conditions, and exploring real-world analogies from molecules to nanoscale wires. Through equations, graphs, and probability, they connect quantum mechanics to familiar chemical systems and cutting-edge experiments.
