Multiphase ISM simulations show PeV cosmic-ray diffusion coefficients reach 10^30 cm^2 s^-1, with perpendicular transport boosted at thermal phase boundaries while overall transport is controlled by trans-Alfvenic warm and unstable gas.
Observational study of MBM12 shows CO-to-H2 conversion factor near galactic average with density-dependent variations, high virial parameters decreasing at small scales, broken power-law mass-size relations indicating external pressure, and magnetic field orientation transition at N(H2) = 4.5e21 cm-
