A searchable index of real negative results, null findings, and replication failures from the published literature — so you can learn what didn't work before repeating it.
WASTE indexes published research — it does not host or republish full papers. Each entry is a metadata record (title, authors, DOI) compiled from open scholarly databases, with the abstract shown in full only where the paper is openly licensed (e.g. Creative Commons); otherwise a short excerpt is shown for reference under fair use. WASTE classifies each work by failure type; classifications are automated and approximate.

Telomeres of the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe , are known to replicate in late S phase, but the reasons for this late replication are not fully understood. We have identified two closely-spaced DNA replication origins, 5.5 to 8…
Gili Lifshitz Sherzer, Yuri Ribakov · 2025 · Applied Sciences
This research focuses on the design and performance of Steel Fiber-Reinforced High-Strength Concrete (SFRHSC) to identify the optimal fiber content. The critical challenges involve the fiber content optimization and the effect of fiber…
Jenan A. Altamimi, Janet A. Wilson, Justin Roe et al. · 2024 · Head & Neck
Abstract Objectives Swallowing function in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) is often assessed pre‐treatment, during and at intervals post‐treatment to identify those with dysphagia as early as possible. This study aims to…
Víctor Navas-Portella, Abigail Jiménez, Álvaro Corral · 2020 · Scientific Reports
Abstract Coulomb-stress theory has been used for years in seismology to understand how earthquakes trigger each other. Whenever an earthquake occurs, the stress field changes, and places with positive increases are brought closer to…
