In Japan, there is a train that doesn’t run on tracks in the traditional way. Instead, it moves through the air using Magnetic Levitation (Maglev) technology. The SCmaglev train exemplifies this ...

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 ...

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, ...

Japan is about to unleash the fastest train the world has ever seen - the Superconducting Maglev, or SCMaglev. Capable of hitting a jaw-dropping 503 km/h, it will shrink the journey from Tokyo to ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Imagine gliding across long distances at nearly 400 miles per hour on a train that floats silently above its tracks. No rattling ...

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) ...

Trains as fast as planes? Maglev technology promises this, allowing speeds of over 600 km/h and even up to 1,000 km/h, the current world record! As we tackle climate change, trains are emerging as the ...
