Abstract

Retraction of ‘A solid ultrasonic coupling membrane for superficial vascular ultrasonography’ by Di Sun et al., Nanoscale, 2022, 14, 3545–3553, https://doi.org/10.1039/D1NR05353A.


We, the named authors, hereby wholly retract this Nanoscale article due to errors in the labelling and filing of the data, which have led to ambiguity over the correct data for each figure.

There are 16 instances of duplicate panels in Fig. 4 and Fig. S4 and 8 instances of duplicate panels in Fig. S4. Both figures represent data from the same experiment. Some of the overlap is acceptable, however, some of the overlap is due to errors. The original data are available.

The authors apologize for any inconvenience to readers.
