Social biotic colonies often perform intricate tasks by interindividual communication and cooperation. Inspired by these biotic behaviors, a DNA nanodevice community is proposed as a universal and scalable platform. The modular nanodevice as the infrastructure of platform contains a DNA origami triangular prism framework and a hairpin-swing arm machinery core. By coding and decoding a signal domain on the shuttled output strand in different nanodevices, an orthogonal inter-nanodevice communication network is established to connect multi-nanodevices into a functional platform. The nanodevice platform enables implementation of diverse tasks, including signal cascading and feedback, molecular input recording, distributed logic computing, and modeling of simulation for virus transmission. The nanodevice platform with powerful compatibility and programmability presents an elegant example of the combination of the distributed operation of multiple devices and the complicated interdevice communication network, and may become a new generation of intelligent DNA nanosystems.
