That is going to come as a bit of a shock to the authors of [[Biaxial nematic]].
In what way is writing an article directly from primary sources not original research, then?
Well consider "The biaxial nematic phase for this particular compound only occurs at temperatures around 200 °C and is preceded by as yet unidentified smectic phases."
That is a statement dirrectly supported by the paper and involves no original research (may be a little outdated but I don't know).
Given the way the popular media tends to mangel science the original papers are aften the best sources around.
