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's push for high-speed transportation has taken a major leap forward with its experimental T-Flight maglev train. Designed to reach record-breaking speeds, this levitating train could ...

The science behind a bullet train's incredible speed has advanced to the point that they no longer need wheels to stay on the tracks. There are some magnetic trains that do use rubber wheels until ...

This is Maryland, Gov. Wes Moore, not California where officials have been trying to get a magnetic levitation or “maglev” train system built for five years and it hasn’t made it to the tracks yet ...

On a short stretch of track in northern China, a heavy block of engineering briefly moved with the urgency of a launched projectile. In a test that prioritised hardware limits over passenger comfort, ...

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 ...

The maglev L0 will transform travel in Japan, completing journeys that once took two and a half hours in just 40 minutes.

The federal government is pulling the plug after decades of grant spending and permit studies for a proposed 26.6-mile high-speed magnetic rail project between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., ...

Every Marylander wants a faster, more reliable commute — but speed alone shouldn’t come at the expense of equity, community needs or the environment. The proposed superconducting maglev (SCMaglev) ...

The construction of what is intended to be the world’s fastest train, the Chuo Shinkansen Maglev, which is intended to link Tokyo to Nagoya, with a potential future extension to Osaka, is currently ...
