Source evidence
1 src · 1 checkNoteThe claim states '380,000 stable inorganic crystal structures' but the source clearly states '381,000 new entries' on the convex hull. This is a minor numerical discrepancy (380k vs 381k — a difference of ~0.3%), which falls within rounding tolerance and is not a material contradiction. The claim correctly identifies GNoME as the method, correctly attributes it to Google DeepMind (implied by 'Merchant et al., Nature 2023'), correctly identifies the year (2023), and correctly characterizes the expansion as roughly 10x (from 48,000 to 421,000 total is ~8.8x, or from 48,000 to 381,000 new ones is a ~7.9x increase in new discoveries — both reasonably described as 'roughly 10x'). The source confirms all major elements of the claim with only minor numerical rounding differences.
