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 ...

Japan is currently developing the world’s fastest train, the L0 Series, which is a Japanese maglev train being produced and tested by the Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central). This train is ...

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 ...

Imagine gliding across long distances at nearly 400 miles per hour on a train that floats silently above its tracks. No rattling wheels, no jolts, just a smooth, whisper-quiet ride. This is the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Something to look forward to: The risk of generating dangerous shockwaves when exiting tunnels has long challenged high-speed rail systems. As maglev trains reach higher speeds, the problem becomes ...
