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 ...

Magnetic levitation trains, better known as maglev trains, have recently achieved a staggering speed of 800 miles per hour. This remarkable development marks a significant stride in transportation ...

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 ...

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 ...

Until recently, Maglev trains were being considered for passenger service between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore and eventually between Washington, D.C., and New York City. Unlike traditional ...

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.

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 ...

As a result, Maglev trains can run at top speeds between 250 and 300 miles per hour. That is significantly faster than Amtrak’s soon to be launched NextGen Acela, a high-speed passenger train between ...
