Fitoplankton

Plankton didefinisikan sebagai organisme hanyut apapun yang hidup dalam zona pelagik (bagian atas) samudera, laut, dan badan air tawar. Secara luas plankton dianggap sebagai salah satu organisme terpenting di dunia, karena menjadi bekal makanan untuk kehidupan akuatik.

Bagi kebanyakan makhluk laut, plankton adalah makanan utama mereka. Plankton terdiri dari sisa-sisa hewan dan tumbuhan laut. Ukurannya kecil saja. Walaupun termasuk sejenis benda hidup, plankton tidak mempunyai kekuatan untuk melawan arus, air pasang atau angin yang menghanyutkannya.

Penemuan Terbaru: "Mobil Tenaga Surya"

 

Para mahasiswa dari University of of New South Wales berhasil memecahkan rekor kendaraan bertenaga surya.

Seperti dikutip dari situs Wired, mereka berhasil memecahkan rekor kecepatan tadi menggunakan sebuah kendaraan bernama Sunswift IV atau disebut juga dengan IVy.

IVy yang dikendarai oleh Barton Mawer di balik kemudi, berhasil mengukir kecepatan 55,14 mil per jam atau 88,7 km per jam. Kecepatan ini melampaui rekor sebelumnya yang hanya 79 km per jam.

Rekor kecepatan itu dapat diraih IVy pada dua kesempatan di dua lintasan sepanjang 2,5 km, di markas AU Australia, Nowra. Rekor kecepatan tertinggi IVy sendiri adalah 56,85 mil per jam atau 89,88 km per jam.

"Ini memang jalan yang panjang, namun kami sangat gembira dengan hasil yang kami raih," ujar Project manager Sunswift, Daniel Friedman, kepada Wired.

Menurut sang pengemudi Mawer, IVy sangat stabil saat dikendarai, walaupun penanganannya sempat sedikit berubah, setelah sel baterai kendaraan ini - yang khusus diperuntukkan bagi perjalanan jauh, sempat dilepas oleh tim.

"Kendaraan ini memang dirancang untuk stabil pada kecepatan tadi, sehingga aerodinamika membuat kendaraan menjadi stabil," kata Mawer.

Namun, IVy ditargetkan untuk bisa berlari lebih cepat lagi. Saat ini IVy tengah dioptimasi lagi untuk menghadapi World Solar Challenge yang akan digelar Oktober mendatang.

"Visi kami adalah hadirnya tim-tim lain yang akan menantang kami dan memecahkan rekor kami kembali. Kami bahkan berusaha menemukan kendaraan baru yang didesain khusus untuk memecahkan rekor ini untuk mendapatkan kendaraan yang lebih efisien lagi,' kata Friedman.
