Materials Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-29 · 5 entries checked · 3 flagged · 8 issues confirmed · 3 corrected · 5 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Borosilicate glass — The claim that borosilicate glass is 'generally more brittle and can be more prone to mechanical breakage from impact compared to soda-lime glass' is not a universally established fact and is presented as such without canonical support.

Borosilicate glass — The statement that borosilicate glass's 'long-term clarity retention is not inherently superior' is misleading; borosilicate glass is canonically known for superior chemical durability and clarity retention over time compared to soda-lime glass.

Carbon fibers — Roger Bacon's 1958 carbon fibers had a carbon content of about 95%, not 99% or higher.

Carbon fibers — The claim that Dr. Akio Shindo's early PAN-based fibers had about 55% carbon content is a straw man; no established source states that.

Cardboard — The entry implies that Pure-Pak invented the paper milk carton, but John Van Wormer invented it in 1915 and Pure-Pak popularized it later.
