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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In February of this year, we reported on the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, and its phase one testing of a low-vacuum-tube hyperloop-style maglev ultra-high-speed (UHS) train. In ...

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 ...

Chinese scientists set a new world record as a maglev train reached 700 kilometers per hour in just two seconds. The experiment, conducted on December 25, used a 400-meter-long track and a nearly ...
