| contents | We show that dense active fluids comprising interacting particles with persistent self-propulsion are driven to a non-equilibrium steady state consisting of co-moving particles with co-aligned active forces. This velocity and force sorting appears to be associated with a critical state where the length scales associated with spatial correlations of the velocity and the propulsive force grow with system size. At large system sizes, these growing velocity domains are accompanied by the appearance of dynamic macroscopic voids in the steady state, associated with large density fluctuations. The dynamics of the macroscopic voids drives a new kind of turbulent state. |
