Molecular self-assembly paper fell apart

Authors are retracting a 2014 paper about how liquid-crystalline materials self-organize in low temperature conditions after realizing they had measured the temperatures incorrectly. The error affected three figures and a table in “Milestone in the NTB phase investigation and beyond: direct insight into molecular self-assembly.” The paper, published in Soft Matter, has been cited three […]

Author added to paper after investigation at University of Helsinki

An author has been added to a biochemistry paper following an investigation by the University of Helsinki. Karen Sabatini, currently a biochemist at the University of San Diego, was erroneously left off the author list of a paper published in 2010 in Soft Matter. She apparently left Helsinki in 2010. The circumstances may be unclear, but one thing we […]
