Many molecules come in two forms that are mirror images of one another, much like left and right…
Collared peccaries vanished from Uruguay after the 1800s; a 17-year breeding effort returned them to forests where a new generation has now been born
For more than 100 years, Uruguay’s grasslands and river forests were missing a native mammal that once moved…

There’s a stretch of desert in Chile so dry that a single rain event turned up in four years of instrument records, and its soil fools life-detection hardware in precisely the way Mars does, so NASA spent four field seasons rehearsing a rover mission on it
For four years, an instrument station in the hyperarid core of Chile’s Atacama Desert logged one rain event.…

The software that landed men on the Moon was not loaded onto the Apollo Guidance Computer so much as woven into it, with women at a Raytheon plant threading wire through or around thousands of tiny magnetic rings by hand, one pass for a one and one miss for a zero, until the whole program was a physical textile
The software that guided Apollo 11 towards the Moon did not reach its computer as an electronic download.…
