We at ScientificAmerican.com wish to extend our deepest sympathy to those affected by the terrible crashes in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001. In the hopes that our past coverage may help readers to make better sense of the science and technology of terrorism, we have put together lists of related links under the following subheadings: Antiterrorism Technology, Biological and Chemical Weapons, The Psychology of Terror, DNA Analysis and PCR and Sky Views: New York City Before and After. In addition, be assured that Scientific American's coverage of this important topic is ongoing. Our most recent news articles appear on this page, as do several highlighted feature stories.
