Maglev bullet trains promise a future where steel wheels and clattering rails give way to smooth, floating speed. Yet the reality on today’s tracks is more nuanced, with some systems gliding entirely ...

While it's not yet operational, China has been testing a magnetic levitation (maglev) train, the CR450 and successfully clocked speeds exceeding 620 miles per hour. For a bit of context, your average ...

China says its maglev hyperloop train has broken the world speed record in a test run, reaching a blistering 387 mph (623 km/h). Ultimately, its makers want to build a train more than three times as ...

As the United States struggles to keep its major cities connected by even the most barebones rail systems, China is screaming into the future with the development of a levitating bullet train. Called ...

China has set a new world record by testing its fastest maglev train, which reached a speed of 700 km per hour in just 2 seconds, moving so quickly that it is almost impossible to track with the naked ...

The transportation landscape is experiencing a remarkable shift with the emergence of maglev technology. These magnetic levitation trains hover above their tracks using powerful magnets, eliminating ...

Floating trains have glided closer to Europe after a pioneering trial of magnetic levitation — aka maglev. Italian firm IronLev, which developed the tech, claims to have completed the first-ever ...

China has set a world record in maglev technology, testing and successfully accelerating a tonne-class vehicle to a speed of 700 km/h (435mph) in only two seconds' time. The test speed of the vehicle ...

Germany’s federal railway authority has issued the European country’s first license for public magnetic levitation (maglev) train operation, in a major milestone for the nascent technology’s use.

When Maryland Gov. Wes Moore was in Japan expressing amazement at magnetic-levitation train technology, residents in the path of the proposed high-speed train back home were less than impressed. "I ...
