In the specific case of LENR/cold fusion, vortex-l provides an excellent
source of this sort of information. There have been a number of times
when I have searched the archive to find whether something had been
tried or considered and found the information from a discussion at some
point in the past. For this I am very grateful to all the
contributers. I only wish I had access to similar information for other
research I am involved with.

So if that was done with cold fusion...
IMO failures in experimental sciences are too specific for it to be
meaningful.
It might have limited application, but mostly, I don't see it, too
often success and failure is just an inch apart.

Excellent article.
I have found that it is possible to find out some of the failures
by going to conferences and talking with people. For every field
there is usually someone who knows what has been done, and what
has worked and what has not. The problem is that this is very hit
and miss and the information is not very accessible, which is not
a good way to do science

Why Scientists Must Share Their Failures
We don’t ask people in other professions to do it, but it’s vital
for speeding up progress in crucial areas of research from
climate to medicine and public health
