The transportation landscape is experiencing a remarkable shift with the emergence of maglev technology. These magnetic levitation trains hover above their tracks using powerful magnets, eliminating ...

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 ...

Europe is very close to making a huge move for its railway industry. A test by Italian firm IronLev has provided successful examples of how a magnetic levitation train, or maglev, might work on ...

Magnetic levitation, or maglev, technology has been around since the 1940s, but it's only now coming into focus as a means of high-speed transit. There are several maglev train systems spread ...

Something to look forward to: The risk of generating dangerous shockwaves when exiting tunnels has long challenged high-speed rail systems. As maglev trains reach higher speeds, the problem becomes ...

People driving to and from California this and last week may have seen work crews in the Interstate 15 median and on some highway shoulders surveying the landscape and taking core samples. It’s the ...

The world's first carbon fiber metro train launched in China, boasting reduced weight, energy consumption, and carbon emissions. Italy's IronLev tested a maglev train prototype on existing rail ...

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., ...
