They are actually in some sense the same article. The economist runs “Leaders”, a series of articles at the front of the weekly issue that often condense more fleshed out stories appearing in the same issue. It’s essentially a generalization of the Inverted Pyramid technique [1] to the entire newspaper.
In this case the linked article is the leader for the better article in the same issue’s Science and Technology section.
