Magnetic levitation, or maglev, technology has been around since the 1940s, but it's only now coming into focus as a means of high-speed transit. There are several maglev train systems spread ...

A zero to 60 mph time of just under seven seconds is decent, but not too noteworthy. A zero to 100 mph in the same time would be astounding. But zero to 404 mph? Welcome to the future of trains, as ...

Researchers in China have researched a solution to one of the largest issues facing magnetic levitation (maglev) trains. Chinese engineers have developed porous buffers that fit into tunnel mouths to ...

China has unveiled a new maglev train capable of reaching speeds of 600 km/h, cutting travel time between Beijing and Shanghai, the country's busiest tourist destinations, to 2.5 hours. The trip ...

China's push for high-speed transportation has taken a major leap forward with its experimental T-Flight maglev train. Designed to reach record-breaking speeds, this levitating train could ...

China's biggest missile manufacturer is working on a hyperloop. CASIC claims it's clocked the fastest speed ever for a superconducting maglev vehicle – over 623 km/h (387 mph) – during tests in a ...

China has successfully completed the demonstration test of its innovative ultra-high-speed (UHS) maglev transportation system, achieving a significant milestone. This new maglev train can reach speeds ...

CASC designs, develops, and manufactures everything from spacecraft to missiles, but it’s currently working on a hyperloop. The company has built a section of low-vacuum tube that is roughly 1.2 miles ...

On a short stretch of track in northern China, a heavy block of engineering briefly moved with the urgency of a launched projectile. In a test that prioritised hardware limits over passenger comfort, ...
