Greenhouse
Can glass produce light? After some research Engbers discovered a material that has existed for 2000 years, which comes very closely! It is called vaseline glass, or uranium glass, and shines under ultraviolet light.
After a long search, Engbers came across an expert who could create small windows with this material. Something that was never done before! The result: an illuminated greenhouse.
