Abstract

Some of the original images in this paper (Yang et al. 2024) were generated using AI to visually illustrate key concepts; however, it was later discovered that some of the images contained inaccurate information. Additionally, the description of Table 1 was identified as being inaccurate, and we sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused. To address this, we have carefully reviewed and replaced each AI-generated image that lacked precision with manually taken, authentic photographs, and revised the description of Table 1 to ensure its accuracy and clarity. These replacement images are free from post-editing and faithfully capture the intended scientific details, ensuring both accuracy and clarity. Our goal is to provide readers with reliable visual content that supports a clear understanding of the material, without raising concerns about misrepresentation or copyright issues. Below is a list of the original images and tables, along with their revised counterparts, which now accurately reflect the content discussed in the paper. Incorrect Fig. 3 (Figure presented.)
