Abstract

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. Concerns were raised regarding figure 3A. Panels a and b appear to partially overlap despite representing two different materials. The authors have either not responded to queries about this concern or could not be contacted. The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the results and conclusions of this article. The authors have not responded to correspondence regarding this retraction. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. 2024.
