$$I=int_0^inftyln^2(x)sin(x^2)dx oversetx^2=t=int_0^infty frac12sqrt t ln^2 (sqrt t) sin t dt =frac18 int_0^infty t^-1/2sin t ln^2 t ,dt$$
Note that the last integral is the Mellin transform in $s=frac12 $ of the sine after being differentiated twice.



See for example here a proof for:
$$int_0^infty x^s-1sin x dx= Gamma(s) sinleft(fracpi s2right)$$
$$Rightarrow I=frac18fracd^2ds^2Gamma(s) sinleft(fracpi s2right)bigg|_s=frac12$$
It's not the end of the world to differentiate that twice since the digamma function comes in our help.



From the wiki page we have:
$Gamma'(x)=Gamma(x)psi(x)$
$$Rightarrow fracddsGamma(s) sinleft(fracpi s2right)=Gamma(s)psi(s)sinleft(fracpi s2right) +fracpi2Gamma(s)cosleft(fracpi s2right)$$
$$Rightarrow fracd^2ds^2Gamma(s) sinleft(fracpi s2right)=fracddsGamma(s)left(psi(s)sinleft(fracpi s2right)+fracpi2cosleft(fracpi s2right)right)$$
$$=Gamma(x)psi(x)left(psi(s)sinleft(fracpi s2right)+fracpi2cosleft(fracpi s2right)right)+Gamma(s)left(psi_1(x)sinleft(fracpi s2right)+fracpi2Gamma(s)cosleft(fracpi s2right)-fracpi^24sinleft(fracpi s2right)right)$$
And now setting $s=frac12$ we get using $Gammaleft(frac12right)=sqrtpi$, $psileft(frac12 right)=-gamma -2ln 2 $,$ psi_1left(frac12right)=fracpi^22$ the result.

We have
$$ F(alpha)=int_0^+infty x^alpha sin(x^2),dx = frac12int_0^+infty x^alpha/2-1sin(x),dx\=frac12Gamma(1-alpha/2)int_0^+infty fracdss^alpha/2(s^2+1) $$
by the properties of the Laplace transform. The last integral can be computed through the Beta and Gamma functions, producing
$$ F(alpha) = frac12,Gammaleft(frac1+alpha2right)sinleft(fracpi4(1+alpha)right) $$
for any $alpha$ such that $textRe(alpha)in(-3,1)$. In order to prove the claim, it is enough to apply $lim_alphato 0fracd^2dalpha^2$ to both sides of the last identity and recall the special values of $Gamma,psi$ and $psi'$ at $frac12$.

    $begingroup$

    Let us rewrite your integral as
    $$int_0^infty ln^2(x)sin(x^2)dx=frac18int_0^infty fracln^2(x)sin(x)sqrtxdx$$
    To solve this integral, you can employ the following identity, which holds for any $pin (0,1)$:
    $$int_0^infty x^p-1sin(x)dx=Gamma(p)sin(pi p/2)$$
    The value of your integral can be obtained from this by differentiating both sides of this equation twice with respect to $p$, moving the derivative inside of the definite integral on the LHS, and making use of the known special values of the Digamma function.



    This can be done by hand, but it requires a lot of algebra and would be best left to a CAS, as suggested in the comments.

      Just a generalization of @Zacky's answer



      $$F(a)=int_0^inftylog^2(x^a)sin(x^2)mathrm dx$$
      Since $log(x^a)=log(e^alog x)=alog x$,
      $$F(a)=a^2int_0^inftylog^2(x)sin(x^2)mathrm dx$$
      $$F(a)=a^2F(1)$$
      And as @Zacky showed,
      $$F(1)=frac18mathrmD^2_s=frac12Gamma(s)sinfracpi s2=frac132sqrtfracpi2(2gamma-pi+log16)^2$$
      So
      $$F(a)=fraca^232sqrtfracpi2(2gamma-pi+log16)^2$$



      I will edit my answer to include a proof of my own once I find one.

      endequation



      We first observe that:



      beginequation
      I = int_0^inftyln^2(x)sinleft(x^2right):dx = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2int_0^infty x^ksinleft(x^2right):dx = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2 H(k)
      endequation



      We proceed by solving $H(k)$. To do so, we introduce a new parameter $'t'$:



      beginequation
      J(t; k) = int_0^infty x^ksinleft(tx^2right):dx
      endequation



      (This is allowable through the Dominated Convergence Theorem). Thus:



      beginequation
      H(k) = lim_trightarrow 1^+ J(t; k)
      endequation



      Using Fubini's Theorem we now take the Laplace Transform with respect to '$t$'



      beginalign
      mathscrL_tleft[J(t;k) right] &= int_0^infty x^kmathscrL_tleft[sinleft(tx^2right)right]:dx = int_0^infty fracx^k + 2s^2 + x^4:dx
      endalign



      As I address here we find this becomes:



      beginalign
      mathscrL_tleft[J(t;k) right] &= frac14cdot left(s^2right)^frack + 2 + 12 - 1 cdot Bleft(1 - frack + 2 + 1 4, frack + 2 + 1 4 right) = frac14 s^frack - 12 Bleft(1 - frack + 34 , frack + 34right)
      endalign



      Using the relationship between the Gamma and Beta Function we find:



      beginequation
      mathscrL_tleft[J(t;k) right] = frac14 s^frack - 12 Gammaleft(1 - frack + 34right) Gammaleft( frack + 34right)
      endequation



      Using Euler's Reflection Formula we find:



      beginequation
      mathscrL_tleft[J(t;k) right] = frac14 s^frack - 12 fracpisinleft(pileft(frack + 34right) right)
      endequation



      Taking the inverse Laplace Transforms is rather tricky here. To evaluate recall that:



      beginequation
      I = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2 H(k) = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2left[ lim_trightarrow 1^+ J(t;k)right]
      endequation



      In this process we solve for $H(k)$ using



      beginequation
      H(k) = lim_trightarrow 1^+ mathscrL_s^-1left[mathscrL_tleft[J(t; k)right]right]
      endequation



      Thus, our definition of $I$ becomes:



      beginalign
      I &= lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2 H(k) = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2left[ lim_trightarrow 1^+ J(t;k)right] = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2left[ lim_trightarrow 1^+ mathscrL_s^-1left[mathscrL_tleft[J(t; k)right]right]right] \
      &= lim_trightarrow 1^+ mathscrL_s^-1left[ lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2mathscrL_tleft[J(t; k)right]right] = lim_trightarrow 1^+ mathscrL_s^-1left[ lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2left[ frac14 s^frack - 12 fracpisinleft(pileft(frack + 34right) right)right]right]
      endalign



      Because I'm lazy, I used Wolframalpha to evaluate the second derivate at $0$:



      beginalign
      I &= lim_trightarrow 1^+ mathscrL_s^-1left[ lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2left[ frac14 s^frack - 12 fracpisinleft(pileft(frack + 34right) right)right]right] = lim_trightarrow 1^+ mathscrL_s^-1left[ fracpi4left( frac3pi^28sqrt2sqrts + fracln^2(s)2sqrt2sqrts + fracpiln(s)2sqrt2sqrtsright)right] \
      &= lim_trightarrow 1^+ left[ frac3pi^332sqrt2 mathscrL_s^-1left[ frac1sqrtsright] + fracpi8sqrt2 mathscrL_s^-1left[ fracln^2(s)sqrtsright]+ fracpi^28sqrt2 mathscrL_s^-1left[ fracln(s)sqrtsright]right] \
      &= lim_trightarrow 1^+ left[ frac3pi^332sqrt2 left[ frac1sqrtpisqrttright] + fracpi32sqrt2 left[ frac
      left(psi^(0)left(frac12right)-ln(t)right)^2 -fracpi^22sqrtpisqrttright]+ fracpi^216sqrt2 left[ frac
      psi^(0)left(frac12right)-ln(t)sqrtpisqrttright]right] \
      &= frac3pi^332sqrt2 left[ frac1sqrtpiright] + fracpi32sqrt2 left[ frac
      psi^(0)left(frac12right)^2 -fracpi^22sqrtpiright]+ fracpi^216sqrt2 left[ frac
      psi^(0)left(frac12right)sqrtpiright]
      endalign



      Noting that
      beginequation
      psi^(0)left(frac12right) = -gamma - 2ln(2)
      endequation



      Where $gamma$ is the Euler–Mascheroni constant.



      Thus,



      beginalign
      I = frac3pi^332sqrt2 left[ frac1sqrtpiright] + fracpi32sqrt2 left[ frac
      left(gamma + 2ln(2)right)^2 -fracpi^22sqrtpiright]+ fracpi^216sqrt2 left[ frac
      gamma - 2ln(2)sqrtpiright] = frac132sqrtfracpi2(2gamma-pi+4ln2)^2
      endalign

        $$I=int_0^inftyln^2(x)sin(x^2)dx oversetx^2=t=int_0^infty frac12sqrt t ln^2 (sqrt t) sin t dt =frac18 int_0^infty t^-1/2sin t ln^2 t ,dt$$
        Note that the last integral is the Mellin transform in $s=frac12 $ of the sine after being differentiated twice.



        See for example here a proof for:
        $$int_0^infty x^s-1sin x dx= Gamma(s) sinleft(fracpi s2right)$$
        $$Rightarrow I=frac18fracd^2ds^2Gamma(s) sinleft(fracpi s2right)bigg|_s=frac12$$
        It's not the end of the world to differentiate that twice since the digamma function comes in our help.



        From the wiki page we have:
        $Gamma'(x)=Gamma(x)psi(x)$
        $$Rightarrow fracddsGamma(s) sinleft(fracpi s2right)=Gamma(s)psi(s)sinleft(fracpi s2right) +fracpi2Gamma(s)cosleft(fracpi s2right)$$
        $$Rightarrow fracd^2ds^2Gamma(s) sinleft(fracpi s2right)=fracddsGamma(s)left(psi(s)sinleft(fracpi s2right)+fracpi2cosleft(fracpi s2right)right)$$
        $$=Gamma(x)psi(x)left(psi(s)sinleft(fracpi s2right)+fracpi2cosleft(fracpi s2right)right)+Gamma(s)left(psi_1(x)sinleft(fracpi s2right)+fracpi2Gamma(s)cosleft(fracpi s2right)-fracpi^24sinleft(fracpi s2right)right)$$
        And now setting $s=frac12$ we get using $Gammaleft(frac12right)=sqrtpi$, $psileft(frac12 right)=-gamma -2ln 2 $,$ psi_1left(frac12right)=fracpi^22$ the result.

        We have
        $$ F(alpha)=int_0^+infty x^alpha sin(x^2),dx = frac12int_0^+infty x^alpha/2-1sin(x),dx\=frac12Gamma(1-alpha/2)int_0^+infty fracdss^alpha/2(s^2+1) $$
        by the properties of the Laplace transform. The last integral can be computed through the Beta and Gamma functions, producing
        $$ F(alpha) = frac12,Gammaleft(frac1+alpha2right)sinleft(fracpi4(1+alpha)right) $$
        for any $alpha$ such that $textRe(alpha)in(-3,1)$. In order to prove the claim, it is enough to apply $lim_alphato 0fracd^2dalpha^2$ to both sides of the last identity and recall the special values of $Gamma,psi$ and $psi'$ at $frac12$.

          $$ F(alpha)=int_0^+infty x^alpha sin(x^2),dx = frac12int_0^+infty x^alpha/2-1sin(x),dx\=frac12Gamma(1-alpha/2)int_0^+infty fracdss^alpha/2(s^2+1) $$
          by the properties of the Laplace transform. The last integral can be computed through the Beta and Gamma functions, producing
          $$ F(alpha) = frac12,Gammaleft(frac1+alpha2right)sinleft(fracpi4(1+alpha)right) $$
          for any $alpha$ such that $textRe(alpha)in(-3,1)$. In order to prove the claim, it is enough to apply $lim_alphato 0fracd^2dalpha^2$ to both sides of the last identity and recall the special values of $Gamma,psi$ and $psi'$ at $frac12$.

                Let us rewrite your integral as
                $$int_0^infty ln^2(x)sin(x^2)dx=frac18int_0^infty fracln^2(x)sin(x)sqrtxdx$$
                To solve this integral, you can employ the following identity, which holds for any $pin (0,1)$:
                $$int_0^infty x^p-1sin(x)dx=Gamma(p)sin(pi p/2)$$
                The value of your integral can be obtained from this by differentiating both sides of this equation twice with respect to $p$, moving the derivative inside of the definite integral on the LHS, and making use of the known special values of the Digamma function.



                This can be done by hand, but it requires a lot of algebra and would be best left to a CAS, as suggested in the comments.

                        Since $log(x^a)=log(e^alog x)=alog x$,

                        $$F(a)=a^2F(1)$$
                        And as @Zacky showed,
                        $$F(1)=frac18mathrmD^2_s=frac12Gamma(s)sinfracpi s2=frac132sqrtfracpi2(2gamma-pi+log16)^2$$

                        An alternative approach is to employ Feynman's Trick and Laplace Transforms to solve:



                        beginequation
                        I = int_0^inftyln^2(x)sinleft(x^2right):dx
                        endequation



                        We first observe that:



                        beginequation
                        I = int_0^inftyln^2(x)sinleft(x^2right):dx = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2int_0^infty x^ksinleft(x^2right):dx = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2 H(k)
                        endequation



                        We proceed by solving $H(k)$. To do so, we introduce a new parameter $'t'$:



                        beginequation
                        J(t; k) = int_0^infty x^ksinleft(tx^2right):dx
                        endequation



                        (This is allowable through the Dominated Convergence Theorem). Thus:



                        beginequation
                        H(k) = lim_trightarrow 1^+ J(t; k)
                        endequation



                        Using Fubini's Theorem we now take the Laplace Transform with respect to '$t$'



                        beginalign
                        mathscrL_tleft[J(t;k) right] &= int_0^infty x^kmathscrL_tleft[sinleft(tx^2right)right]:dx = int_0^infty fracx^k + 2s^2 + x^4:dx
                        endalign



                        As I address here we find this becomes:



                        beginalign
                        mathscrL_tleft[J(t;k) right] &= frac14cdot left(s^2right)^frack + 2 + 12 - 1 cdot Bleft(1 - frack + 2 + 1 4, frack + 2 + 1 4 right) = frac14 s^frack - 12 Bleft(1 - frack + 34 , frack + 34right)
                        endalign



                        Using the relationship between the Gamma and Beta Function we find:



                        beginequation
                        mathscrL_tleft[J(t;k) right] = frac14 s^frack - 12 Gammaleft(1 - frack + 34right) Gammaleft( frack + 34right)
                        endequation



                        Using Euler's Reflection Formula we find:



                        beginequation
                        mathscrL_tleft[J(t;k) right] = frac14 s^frack - 12 fracpisinleft(pileft(frack + 34right) right)
                        endequation



                        Taking the inverse Laplace Transforms is rather tricky here. To evaluate recall that:



                        beginequation
                        I = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2 H(k) = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2left[ lim_trightarrow 1^+ J(t;k)right]
                        endequation



                        In this process we solve for $H(k)$ using



                        beginequation
                        H(k) = lim_trightarrow 1^+ mathscrL_s^-1left[mathscrL_tleft[J(t; k)right]right]
                        endequation



                        Thus, our definition of $I$ becomes:



                        beginalign
                        I &= lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2 H(k) = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2left[ lim_trightarrow 1^+ J(t;k)right] = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2left[ lim_trightarrow 1^+ mathscrL_s^-1left[mathscrL_tleft[J(t; k)right]right]right] \
                        &= lim_trightarrow 1^+ mathscrL_s^-1left[ lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2mathscrL_tleft[J(t; k)right]right] = lim_trightarrow 1^+ mathscrL_s^-1left[ lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2left[ frac14 s^frack - 12 fracpisinleft(pileft(frack + 34right) right)right]right]
                        endalign



                        Because I'm lazy, I used Wolframalpha to evaluate the second derivate at $0$:



                        beginalign
                        I &= lim_trightarrow 1^+ mathscrL_s^-1left[ lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2left[ frac14 s^frack - 12 fracpisinleft(pileft(frack + 34right) right)right]right] = lim_trightarrow 1^+ mathscrL_s^-1left[ fracpi4left( frac3pi^28sqrt2sqrts + fracln^2(s)2sqrt2sqrts + fracpiln(s)2sqrt2sqrtsright)right] \
                        &= lim_trightarrow 1^+ left[ frac3pi^332sqrt2 mathscrL_s^-1left[ frac1sqrtsright] + fracpi8sqrt2 mathscrL_s^-1left[ fracln^2(s)sqrtsright]+ fracpi^28sqrt2 mathscrL_s^-1left[ fracln(s)sqrtsright]right] \
                        &= lim_trightarrow 1^+ left[ frac3pi^332sqrt2 left[ frac1sqrtpisqrttright] + fracpi32sqrt2 left[ frac
                        left(psi^(0)left(frac12right)-ln(t)right)^2 -fracpi^22sqrtpisqrttright]+ fracpi^216sqrt2 left[ frac
                        psi^(0)left(frac12right)-ln(t)sqrtpisqrttright]right] \
                        &= frac3pi^332sqrt2 left[ frac1sqrtpiright] + fracpi32sqrt2 left[ frac
                        psi^(0)left(frac12right)^2 -fracpi^22sqrtpiright]+ fracpi^216sqrt2 left[ frac
                        psi^(0)left(frac12right)sqrtpiright]
                        endalign



                        Noting that
                        beginequation
                        psi^(0)left(frac12right) = -gamma - 2ln(2)
                        endequation



                        Where $gamma$ is the Euler–Mascheroni constant.



                        Thus,



                        beginalign
                        I = frac3pi^332sqrt2 left[ frac1sqrtpiright] + fracpi32sqrt2 left[ frac
                        left(gamma + 2ln(2)right)^2 -fracpi^22sqrtpiright]+ fracpi^216sqrt2 left[ frac
                        gamma - 2ln(2)sqrtpiright] = frac132sqrtfracpi2(2gamma-pi+4ln2)^2
                        endalign

                        An alternative approach is to employ Feynman's Trick and Laplace Transforms to solve:



                        beginequation
                        I = int_0^inftyln^2(x)sinleft(x^2right):dx
                        endequation



                        We first observe that:



                        beginequation
                        I = int_0^inftyln^2(x)sinleft(x^2right):dx = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2int_0^infty x^ksinleft(x^2right):dx = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2 H(k)
                        endequation



                        We proceed by solving $H(k)$. To do so, we introduce a new parameter $'t'$:



                        beginequation
                        J(t; k) = int_0^infty x^ksinleft(tx^2right):dx
                        endequation



                        (This is allowable through the Dominated Convergence Theorem). Thus:



                        beginequation
                        H(k) = lim_trightarrow 1^+ J(t; k)
                        endequation



                        Using Fubini's Theorem we now take the Laplace Transform with respect to '$t$'



                        beginalign
                        mathscrL_tleft[J(t;k) right] &= int_0^infty x^kmathscrL_tleft[sinleft(tx^2right)right]:dx = int_0^infty fracx^k + 2s^2 + x^4:dx
                        endalign



                        As I address here we find this becomes:



                        beginalign
                        mathscrL_tleft[J(t;k) right] &= frac14cdot left(s^2right)^frack + 2 + 12 - 1 cdot Bleft(1 - frack + 2 + 1 4, frack + 2 + 1 4 right) = frac14 s^frack - 12 Bleft(1 - frack + 34 , frack + 34right)
                        endalign



                        Using the relationship between the Gamma and Beta Function we find:



                        beginequation
                        mathscrL_tleft[J(t;k) right] = frac14 s^frack - 12 Gammaleft(1 - frack + 34right) Gammaleft( frack + 34right)
                        endequation



                        Using Euler's Reflection Formula we find:



                        beginequation
                        mathscrL_tleft[J(t;k) right] = frac14 s^frack - 12 fracpisinleft(pileft(frack + 34right) right)
                        endequation



                        Taking the inverse Laplace Transforms is rather tricky here. To evaluate recall that:



                        beginequation
                        I = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2 H(k) = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2left[ lim_trightarrow 1^+ J(t;k)right]
                        endequation



                        In this process we solve for $H(k)$ using



                        beginequation
                        H(k) = lim_trightarrow 1^+ mathscrL_s^-1left[mathscrL_tleft[J(t; k)right]right]
                        endequation



                        Thus, our definition of $I$ becomes:



                        beginalign
                        I &= lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2 H(k) = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2left[ lim_trightarrow 1^+ J(t;k)right] = lim_krightarrow 0^+ fracd^2dk^2left[ lim_trightarrow 1^+ mathscrL_s^-1left[mathscrL_tleft[J(t; k)right]right]right] \

                        endalign

                        psi^(0)left(frac12right)sqrtpiright]
                        endalign



                        Noting that

                        psi^(0)left(frac12right) = -gamma - 2ln(2)
