Author Correction: An autonomous laboratory for the accelerated synthesis of inorganic materials

"Following publication of this article, concerns were raised about the unambiguous identification of the compound structures using diffraction as well as the original claims of material novelty. We acknowledge that the original claims of material novelty were subject to misinterpretationtheir intention was to indicate that the materials were new to the prediction platform, not necessarily new to science. The article text has been updated to reflect this in the HTML and PDF versions of the article."

"For a detailed breakdown of the textual changes, please see the annotated PDF article file available as Supplementary Information accompanying this amendment. In addition, we have manually re-analyzed the diffraction patterns and have confirmed that the prediction platform came to the correct conclusion in 36 of its 40 reported successes, with 4 compounds being inconclusive. This re-analysis was peer-reviewed post-publication."

Concerns were raised about unambiguous identification of compound structures using diffraction and about claims of material novelty. The claims of novelty were clarified to mean the materials were new to the prediction platform, not necessarily new to science. HTML and PDF versions were updated to reflect that clarification. An annotated PDF listing textual changes was made available as Supplementary Information. Manual re-analysis of diffraction patterns confirmed that the prediction platform reached correct conclusions for 36 of 40 reported successes, while four compounds remained inconclusive. The re-analysis was peer-reviewed post-publication and the successful count was updated to exclude the four inconclusive targets.
