Analysis of 3161 molecular clouds reveals oblate shapes aligned with the galactic plane, a flatter velocity dispersion-size relation than Larson's law, strong mass-size correlation, and that 12CO traces diffuse turbulent gas while C18O traces gravity-dominated regions.

Milky Way linear filaments exhibit no strong B-field alignment and bimodal galactic-plane orientations (parallel near midplane, perpendicular far from it), supporting a super-Alfvénic bubbly disk model.
SPH simulations of filament fragmentation indicate isotopic inhomogeneities from 1 pc filaments survive in cores at reduced levels and potentially reach circumstellar disks.
