Light-altering paint for greenhouses could help lengthen the fruit growing season in the UK
 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/11/241120122018.htm
Summary:
 New spray developed by scientists could help boost UK farming and increase the UK's food security. 

Paper:

stuff they use, quote:
'
 In this paper, we develop an approach based on readily prepared and cheap
 Eu3+-containing polyoxotitanium cages (Eu-POTs) which, we show,
 possess the necessary design features listed before.
 Having established the ground rules for selective modification, 
 we introduce a working prototype luminophore with high PLQY (>60%)
 which is soluble in a range of commercial plastics, including water-based
 acrylic paint that can be sprayed onto conventional glass greenhouses
 in an agricultural environment.
