Two‐ring and three‐ring DNA catenane systems undergo programmed and reversible dynamic transitions between predesigned topologies by a strand‐displacement mechanism. In their Communication on page 2349 ff. , I. Willner and co‐workers outline how the catenated DNA nanostructures hold great promise as nanomachines for the dynamic, programmed transport and arrangement of cargoes at the nanoscale.
