Irregular hexahedral dust grains yield nearly the same polarization morphology and fraction as spherical grains in self-scattering regimes but with up to 2.5 times higher scattering opacity, and are still insufficient to match observed polarization levels.

Modeling of ALMA observations reveals diverse vertical heights for millimeter dust in six protoplanetary disks, from very thin in T Cha and PDS 111 to extended in DoAr 25, with models failing to match small dust distributions.
Halos in Elias 2-24, IM Lup, and DM Tau hold 20-30% of total dust mass with cm-sized grains, helping resolve the disk mass-budget problem even though drift and growth timescales are shorter than disk ages.
Numerical simulations of porous fractal and consolidated particles show stronger forward scattering, broader polarization peaks, and lower absorption per unit mass than compact spheres, implying larger dust masses from observed fluxes.
V1094 Sco's ring-gap pairs result from a ~55 Earth-mass planet at ~100 au and secular gravitational instability at 170-230 au in a disk with weak turbulence allowing midplane dust concentrations.
