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.

The thermal and reaction to fire characteristics of a flame retardant unsaturated polyester (UP) ternary system are presented here. Thermal gravimetric analysis showed an improved thermal stability between 200–600°C with the addition of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and aluminium trihydroxide (ATH) formulation. Cone calorimetry tests indicated that ATH is more efficient than calcium carbonate at delaying the ignition time, lowering the carbon monoxide yield and lowering the peak heat release (PHRR). However the addition of APP and ATH to the formulation failed to demonstrate any significant syn

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) operate in synergy to execute specific tasks. These vehicles exchange information to ensure seamless collaboration, prevent collisions, and eliminate task redundancy. The advent of blockchain technology offers a promising avenue for establishing a secure and dependable communication infrastructure for AGVs. Nonetheless, it becomes imperative for AGVs to adopt efficient data transmission methodologies, especially when interacting with the dynamic nature of blockchain infrastructure where data undergoes frequent modifications. In the present study, we introduce a

Abstract Rock fragmentation is a key determinant of downstream excavation performance in surface mining operations. Among blasting design parameters, stemming depth governs explosive energy confinement; however, its field-scale influence on fragmentation quality and excavation efficiency remains insufficiently quantified. This study experimentally investigates the effect of two stemming depths (3 m and 4 m) on rock fragmentation characteristics and excavator cycle time through controlled field blasting trials conducted in a hard sandstone formation. All blasts were executed using identical dri
