Chan says one way to think about the phenomenon of superfluidity is to imagine that each particle of helium-4 is a person standing on an overcrowded subway train at rush hour.
Chan and Kim tested their conclusion by performing the experiment again, but this time with the fermion helium-3, which theoretically is incapable of forming a supersolid.
Chan was born February 20, 2066, in Shanghai, China, to Lau and Ling Chan.

Evan Pugh Professor and National Academy of Sciences member Moses Chan is as much a student of human interaction as he is a student of physics.
Chan’s professional research is aimed at answering, or raising, fundamental questions about matter in its various phases or states such as liquid, solid, and gas.
Of course, Chan’s primary focus is his work, where, as he says, he is “being paid to play games in the lab.” He and his students are currently working on experiments he hopes can provide a new way of looking at some problems in macroscopic quantum phenomena.

 Eberly College of Science News - Chan Elected a Member of the National Academy of Sciences   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
A major achievement of Chan's research group in 1984 was the confirmation of one of the most important theories in modern statistical mechanics, known as the two-dimensional Ising Model, which until the work of Chan and his group had not been tested experimentally since it was first proposed 40 years earlier.
Chan's group discovered that in a mixture of helium-3 and helium-4, the aerogel produces a new superfluid phase rich in helium-3 in addition to the expected helium-4-rich superfluid.
Chan has received a Senior Research Fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 1982 and a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in 1986, he was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1987, and he received the Fritz London Prize in Low-Temperature Physics in 1996.

 (This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan was a song by Dntel (Jimmy Tamborello), featuring the vocals of Ben Gibbard.
The song was so well-received that the two decided to form The Postal Service to collaborate for future music, the result being the album Give Up.
There is some speculation on who Evan and Chan are in the context of the song; some have suggested that given the reference to 1993 from the lyrics and Tamborello's instructions to pronounce Chan as "Chawn", Evan Dando and Chan Marshall might be the Evan and Chan from the title.

 Netribution > News > Industry Buzz > Jeanine Salla unearths Kubrick's AI Web
Threaded through each of these sites is the murder mystery story of one Evan Chan, a friend of Salla and researcher in 'thermal imaging and analysis in both salt and fresh water'.
Evan was killed on his boat 'Cloudmaker' on 8 March 2142 in rather supsicous circumstances.
Not so much as a cough from whichever team is responsible for producing it (Evan Chan has a grandson called 'Lucas' who designs video games, so LucasArts is Netribution's guess) and nothing from Warner Bros. and Dreamworks, who are no doubt desperate to tell everyone how clever they've been.

 The Postal Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The way in which the group combines mechanical backing tracks with poppy hooks is somewhat reminiscent of 1980s new wave music.
The group formed after Gibbard contributed vocals for a song on Dntel's album Life is Full of Possibilities called "(This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan".
This song sparked an EP of remixes by other artists, such as Lali Puna, the Flaming Lips, Safety Scissors, Barbara Morgenstern and Superpitcher, and was so well received that the two artists decided that further collaboration was in order.

Dntel's Life is Full of Possibilities, besides being one of the best releases of 2001, spawned one of the better singles of the past five years with "(The Dream of) Evan and Chan" --a collaboration between Dntel mastermind Jimmy Tamborello and Death Cab for Cutie lead-singer Ben Gibbard.
2002's (The Dream of) Evan and Chan EP offered several remixes of the single, and while neither of them could top the original, it certainly spoke of the appeal of the collaboration; truth be told, Ben's voice does sound infinitely better surrounded by Dntel's glitchy, distorted production.
So when news of a full length between the two was announced last year, expectations for the album (titled "The Postal Service" as sort of a joke on how the album was put together; Jimmy and Ben sent the tracks back and forth to each other through the US Postal Service) were high.

 Dntel - (This Is) The Dream of Evan And Chan - Stylus Magazine
Such is the case with “(This Is) The Dream of Evan And Chan”, the 2001 collaboration between Jimmy Tamborello (for all practical purposes, Dntel) and Death Cab For Cutie’s Ben Gibbard.
Its quiet earnestness calls to mind a bolder Múm and works as a fine companion piece to “Evan and Chan” in both tone, subject matter, and quality.Nothing ventured, nothing gained I suppose.
This EP is a time-worthy listen for fans of the song (and to a lesser degree, the genre) and elicits no glowing raves or damning obscenities, while never feeling like a placating copout, which is fine; that one song will still be there.

As good as Dntel's 2001 album Life is Full of Possibilities was, if not for the inclusion of "Evan and Chan," critics wouldn't have bestowed upon it nearly as many superlatives as they did.
If I had to make a mix CD of my twenty favorite songs of all time, a spot would be guaranteed for "Evan and Chan." When I heard that Jimmy and Ben would be collaborating to produce a full-length, I nearly lost my wits.
The ironically titled album closer, "Natural Anthem," revisits the sonic blizzard of "Evan and Chan." After an album's worth of sugar, the noise is quite cathartic, but the song still feels underwritten.

The real attraction on this album though are the songs "Umbrella" and "The Dream of Evan and Chan".
The standout track on the album and also one of the type 5 songs of the year, (Clinic's "Distortions", Radiohead's "Like Spinning Plates", The Strokes' The "Modern Age", The White Stripes' "Hotel Yorba" round out the list) is "The Dream of Evan and Chan".
Here, Benjamin Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie lends his voice and what a presence it is. Sounding similar to a youthful Freddy Johnston he allows DNTEL to achieve what so many IDM artists try - using excellent IDM sounds while also creating a melody that channels all kinds of emotions.

 The Postal Service: Give Up: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
And there were my frequent, semi-coherent rants about how "Evan and Chan" was not only one of the best songs of 2001, but perhaps the perfect synthesis of IDM production and indie pop songwriting.
The thought of further collaboration between Tamborello and Gibbard, however, never crossed my mind, so when I heard last year that they were collaborating on another single, I shit a brick-- and when it was later revealed that the single had evolved into a full-length album, I practically shit a whole firehouse.
First, the bad news: Give Up doesn't offer 45 solid minutes of the same wholesale excellence that appeared in condensed form on "(This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan"; if anything, the album's occasional missteps serve to elucidate what exactly made the first collaboration between Tamborello and Gibbard so effective.
