China is pushing the boundaries of high-speed rail technology with its ambitious development of maglev trains that could revolutionize travel within the country. Passengers in China could soon stream ...

China is developing a next generation maglev train designed to reach speeds of up to 1,000 kmh using magnetic levitation and low vacuum tubes. This video explores the technology behind the system, how ...

Researchers in China say they have found a way to eliminate one of the biggest obstacles facing magnetic levitation (maglev) trains traveling at extreme speeds — the deafening “tunnel boom.” If ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In 2013, Elon Musk talked about the Hyperloop. A futuristic transport system built around near-vacuum tubes designed to whisk ...

Taking inspiration from the floating trains that travel at incredible speeds, researchers from China have now tested Maglev cars that float above dedicated magnetic highways. Hovering 3.5 centimeters ...

China has successfully completed the demonstration test of its innovative ultra-high-speed (UHS) maglev transportation system, achieving a significant milestone. This new maglev train can reach speeds ...

CASIC has built a 2000 meter long low-vacuum track high-speed maglev test facility in the industrial heartland of Datong, Shanxi province. This is able to accelerate heavy object to speeds approaching ...

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, ...

The train will be used on the Qingyuan line, which is China’s first tourism-dedicated low-speed maglev line. Construction of the line started in December 2017. The new train is part of the ...

As China builds out the next generation of magnetic levitation trains, the U.S. has a grand total of one maglev line in development. Or, make that had one in development, because Transportation ...

China has successfully tested a working Hyperloop-like train system that uses magnetic levitation (maglev) to transport its pods in vacuum-sealed tubes with little to no air resistance. It is already ...

Why it matters: When people discuss maglev technology, it usually concerns train systems where it is known for allowing incredible speeds. Recent tests have explored the potential advantages maglev ...
