description

Original Abstract

Temperature critically governs crop growth. While greenhouses address food security, they rely on energy-intensive temperature control systems. Transitioning to smart, self-regulating greenhouse covers with minimal energy demand is essential for sustainable agriculture. We present a transparent nanophotonic film that maintains crops within a stable and narrow temperature range despite external fluctuations, enabling energy-efficient, all-weather thermoregulation. The film features a TiO
