Chiara Neto. Chiara Neto is an Italian Australian chemist and Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Sydney. Her research considers functional nanostructures and the design of new materials for sustainable technologies. She is the former President of the Australasian Colloid and Interface Society and was selected as an Australian Research Council Future Fellow in 2018.

Early life and education 
Neto studied chemistry at the University of Florence. She remained there for her doctoral studies. Neto moved to the University of Ulm, where she spent a year as a postdoctoral scholar before joining Saarland University. She moved to Australia in 2003, where she spent three years as an Australian Research Council Fellow at the Australian National University.

Research and career 
In 2007 Neto was appointed a Lecturer at the University of Sydney, where was promoted to Full Professor in 2020. Her  research considers biomimicry and the creation of functional structures inspired by nature. 

She has created superhydrophobic surfaces that, imitating a lotus leaf, repel water and keep clean. Such nanostructured materials can be used in situations where repelling liquids and preventing fouling is advantageous, for example, the food industry. In certain scenarios, such as ships moving through water, the flow of fluids against solid surfaces is crucial for performance. By engineering the topography of solid surfaces, Neto can precisely control and study the flow of fluids that interact with them. This allowed Neto to design surfaces layers that allow ships to move efficiently through water, reducing power consumption. Neto has demonstrated that functional coatings can be used to capture atmospheric water from air, reducing humidity and alleviating any water scarcity.

Shelby Jacobs. Shelby B. Jacobs (April 27, 1935 – September 5, 2022) was an American engineer known for adapting camera technology that shot the iconic film of the separation between the first and second stages of the Saturn V rocket.

Career 
Jacobs spent most of his career at Rockwell (under contract to NASA), starting at Rocketdyne in Canoga Park, California, a division of North American Aviation which became Rockwell International. Jacobs designed engine components, hydraulics, pneumatics and propulsion systems at Rocketdyne for half a decade before transferring to Rockwell Space Division (Downey) as a mechanical engineer in Rocket Propulsion Systems on Apollo/Saturn-II.

In 1965, he was given a special assignment to work on a camera system to film the rocket separation of the Apollo 6 launch. NASA provided the Camera Systems used on prior low Earth orbit programs and requested Rockwell to install camera systems for visual confirmation of extensive Separation Systems analyses and tests. The camera was first launched on Apollo 4, however the film from the Apollo 6 launch on April 4, 1968, coincidentally, the same day civil rights movement leader Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, became one of NASA's most known. This footage not only achieved its primary purpose of confirming the performance of Interstage Separation but was among the first to show the curvature of the Earth. 

The camera systems were attached to the aft thrust structure of the Saturn-II (second stage); after shooting the film, the camera was ejected. It fell to the ground with parachutes.

Jacobs was also one of the first black engineers hired by NASA and prime contractors. After Apollo Jacobs joined the Space Shuttle program, where he served as Project Engineer responsible for the Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) including orbiter/external tank disconnect systems umbilicals. Jacobs was team leader on a proposal for continued production of external tank umbilicals (200 ship-sets) by Rockwell, which led to a promotion to Orbiter Program Office (Executive level) for the final fifteen years of his 40-year aerospace career.

Recognition 
Jacobs was celebrated in an exhibition at the Columbia Memorial Space Center in Downey, California.

Personal life and education 
Jacobs was born in Texas but spent his childhood in Val Verde, California. He was recognized in high school as an outstanding student, class president, and promising athlete. After scoring well on an aptitude test after high school, he earned a scholarship to UCLA, where he graduated in 1953.

Jacobs was committed to racial justice. As one of few black engineers, Jacobs faced unequal pay and unfair treatment professionally. In 1965, he spent two weeks registering voters in Alabama.

He died in Oceanside, California, on September 5, 2022.

Chromium(II) iodide. Chromium(II) iodide is the inorganic compound with the formula CrI2.  It is a red-brown or black solid.  The compound is made by thermal decomposition of chromium(III) iodide. Like many metal diiodides, CrI2 adopts the "cadmium iodide structure" motif, i.e., it features sheets of octahedral Cr(II) centers interconnected by bridging iodide ligands. Reflecting the effects of its d4 configuration, chromium's coordination sphere is highly distorted.

Treatment of chromium powder with concentrated hydroiodic acid gives a blue hydrated chromium(II) iodide, which can be converted to related acetonitrile complexes.
Cr +  nH2O  +  2HI  →   CrI2(H2O)n  +  H2

LUMI. LUMI (Large Unified Modern Infrastructure) is a petascale supercomputer located at the CSC data center in Kajaani, Finland. In January 2023, the computer became the fastest supercomputer in Europe.

The completed system consists of 362,496 cores, capable of executing more than 375 petaflops, with a theoretical peak performance of more than 550 petaflops, which places it among the most powerful computers in the world. The November 2022 TOP500 ranks LUMI at number five, with a measured performance of 309.1 PFLOPS.

Architecture 
The system is being supplied by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), providing an HPE Cray EX supercomputer with next generation 64-core AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD Radeon Instinct GPUs. LUMI is a GPU based system, and the majority of its computing power comes from its GPU cores, an architecture which was chosen primarily for its cost/performance advantage. The system is equipped with 1.75 petabytes of RAM, and storage includes a 7-petabyte partition of flash storage, combined with 80-petabytes of traditional storage, both based on the Lustre parallel file system, as well as a 30-petabyte data management service based on Ceph. This gives the system a total of 117 petabytes of storage with an aggregated I/O bandwidth of 2 terabytes per second.

Funding 
LUMI is co-funded by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and the LUMI Consortium, which is composed of the following countries: Finland, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Iceland, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, and Switzerland. The total budget is €144.5 million.

Energy 
The computer uses 100% hydroelectric energy, and the heat it generates will be captured and used to heat buildings in the area, making LUMI one of the most environmentally efficient supercomputers in the world. The former UPM paper mill where LUMI is located had only a single 2 minute power outage during its 38 years of operations thanks to the site's reliable connection to the national grid.

Operation 
Half of LUMI's capacity belongs to the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, 20% of which is reserved for industry and SME use. The other half is shared among the LUMI Consortium countries, according to each country’s financial contribution.

By June 2021 pilot projects had been selected for the first run of the CPU partition, scheduled for September 2021, with full operations including the GPU partition planned for 2022.

Naming 
The word "lumi" means "snow" in Finnish.
