  • 10 May 2011

    In the News & Views 'Avoiding indium' (Nature Photon. 5, 201-202; 2011), credit for Figure 2 was incorrectly given to Linköping University. The figure was originally published in ref. 22 of the News & Views (Manceau, M., Angmo, D., Jørgensen, M. & Krebs, F. C. Org. Electron. 12, 566–574; 2011) and credit should therefore have been given to Elsevier and Frederik Krebs Laboratory. This error has been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions.
