RETRACTION: Thermoresponsive PEG-Coated Nanotubes as Chiral Selectors of Amino Acids and Peptides.

N. Kameta, J. Dong, H. Yui, "Thermoresponsive PEG-Coated Nanotubes as Chiral Selectors of Amino Acids and Peptides," Small 14, no. 15 (2018): 1800030, https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.201800030. The above article, published online on 13 March 2018 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors, Naohiro Kameta, Jiuchao Dong and Hiroharu Yui; the journal Editor-in-Chief, Neville Compton; and Wiley-VCH GmbH, Weinheim. The retraction has been agreed upon following an investigation into concerns raised by National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), and also requested by authors due to image fabrication and falsification in electron microscopy images. In Figures 2a, 2b, 2c and S1b (Supporting Information), where the first author fabricated incorrect TEM images using data shown in Figures 2d and S1a (Supporting Information); all affecting the interpretation of the data and research results presented.
