| Abstract | Self-propelled motion leading to large-scale collective behavior occurs in living and synthetic systems across scales. Controlling the emergent collective behavior of cells and bacteria is a key step toward the design of living and biomimetic materials and advancing biomedical technologies such as tissue engineering. Pre-patterned environments, i.e., quenched disorder, can be used to control active living systems. Still, the understanding of the effect of quenched disorder in active systems rema |
