LONDON, United Kingdom — King Charles III thanked the British people for 'the greatest possible coronation gift' on Monday as three days of celebrations for the historic event drew to a close with a massive volunteering drive. 'To know that we have your support and encouragement, and to witness your kindness expressed in so many different ways, has been the greatest possible coronation gift,' Charles said in a written message. After the pomp and majesty of Saturday's service, and the concert and street party fun of Sunday, Britons were urged to join in the 'Big Help Out', billed as a lasting volunteering legacy to mark Charles's crowning.

Refueling a traditional gas-powered car is as simple as filling its tank with one of a handful of flammable liquids. Electric vehicles (EVs) need more sophisticated infrastructure. Though some have cells that can be swapped quickly at battery stations, most require a plug-in charging pile, as well as time, to replenish them. Enter silicon carbide, or SiC, a material almost as hard as diamonds that is rarely found in nature. It was patented late in the 19th century as Carborundum, and first manufactured for use as an abrasive for grinding and polishing hard surfaces.

When we wash our face with a cleanser, our skin can start to feel tight. With the application of a favorite moisturizer, that feeling often goes away. This perception of our skin might seem subjective, but researchers at Stanford recently revealed the mechanism behind these feelings. Their work, published this week in PNAS Nexus, demonstrates how mechanical changes at the outer surface of our skin translate into sensations and provides a quantitative approach for determining how people will perceive their skin after using a moisturizer or cleanser.
