Physics of Smart Matter: integrating active matter and control to gain insights into living systems

Abstract

We offer our opinion on the benefits of integration of insights from active matter physics with principles of regulatory interactions and control to develop a field we term ``smart matter". This field can provide insight into important principles in living systems as well as aid engineering of responsive, robust and functional collectives.
