A meta comment: in academia, for an outsider a specific paper's contribution is usually hard to decipher. Many papers will sound fairly similar. Popular articles like TFA will essentially have to resort to describing a whole branch of research or even a whole subfield. Authors of the academic paper often don't even recognize their work from just reading the PR summary produced by the marketing department of the university (although this one is written by the original authors).

Hardly any work is ground breaking in science nowadays. There are incremental advances most of the time.
