Maglev trains float above their tracks, eliminating wheel–rail contact and allowing speeds far beyond conventional rail. However, this technological advantage comes with an invisible challenge: ...

China could soon have a train that is as fast as a plane. The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, or CASIC for short, just announced its new magnetically levitated (maglev) train soared ...

China has broken a world record by testing its fastest-ever maglev train, which reached a speed of 700 km/h in just two seconds. The test was carried out by researchers at China’s National University ...

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 ...

YAMANASHI, JAPAN — The inside of the train car goes eerily quiet at 93 miles per hour, a familiar rattle disappearing into a hum as it lifts four inches off the ground, levitating and speeding through ...

People driving to and from California this and last week may have seen work crews in the Interstate 15 median and on some highway shoulders surveying the landscape and taking core samples. It’s the ...
