DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adf3652 Forming phononic skyrmions via intrinsic hybrid spins Researchers can establish elastic spin by hybridizing transverse and longitudinal waves in an elastic interface.

Transverse and longitudinal engines each have their place, and each has its fans. To say one is better than the other is a bit of a fallacy, as their applications are quite different.
