How are identical unsupervised units able to collectively self-organize an efficient aggregation process in which individual elements are guided towards selected locations so as to form ordered and information-rich structures? The formation of complex structures is fundamental to life. Individual building blocks must be able to assemble into aggregates with higher complexity at length scales that exceed the size of individual particles by orders of magnitude. The term ‘active matter’ refers to a class of systems that exhibit this kind of behavior, which underlies many self-assembly processes in biology and physics that give rise to large-scale self-organized structures based solely on local interactions between identical self-propelled particles. In recent years, several scientific breakthroughs have demonstrated that principles of active matter can indeed account for the emergence of diverse macroscopic order, including polar bands and nematic lanes in actin motility assays, defect-dr
