Abstract

Correction for ‘The nanotipped hairs of gecko skin and biotemplated replicas impair and/or kill pathogenic bacteria with high efficiency’ by X. Li, et al., Nanoscale, 2016, 8, 18860–18869.


The authors would like to draw attention of readers to a correction of the published article:

On page 18865 in Fig. 4 the figure caption for (b) should read “live and dead characterisation of S. mutans cells on the gecko replica for comparison with (a).”

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
