“The researchers created a database containing more than 2,000 possible material combinations and trained machine learning models to predict important electronic properties.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While one search result mentions a team predicting properties of 'over 2.2 million combinations of different 2D material', it does not explicitly link this to the specific Clarkson University/Dhara Trivedi team or the 2,000 material database mentioned in the claim. Other results are generic definitions of machine learning.
