RETRACTION: Shrinkable Nanotubes for Duplex Formation of Short Nucleotides.

N. Kameta, H. Akiyama, "Shrinkable Nanotubes for Duplex Formation of Short Nucleotides," Small 14, no. 34 (2018): 1801967, https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.201801967. The above article, published online on 18 July 2018 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors, Naohiro Kameta and Haruhisa Akiyama; the journal Editor-in-Chief, Neville Compton; and Wiley-VCH GmbH, Weinheim.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 all authors due to image falsification in electron microscopy images. The TEM images of Figures 2a and 2c, and SEM images of Figures S1a and S1b (Supporting Information), where the first author falsificated incorrect scale bars; all affecting the interpretation of the data and research results presented.
