Maglev trains promise ultra-fast, smooth and low-carbon travel, but vibration caused by complex interactions between trains, ...

China is racing to build a new kind of train that does not just rival jetliners, it threatens to redefine what “high speed” even means on land. Engineers are now testing a magnetic levitation system ...

Maglev transportation systems utilise magnetic levitation to eliminate mechanical contact between the vehicle and the guideway, thereby reducing friction and wear while enabling exceptionally ...

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 ...

When Maryland Gov. Wes Moore was in Japan expressing amazement at magnetic-levitation train technology, residents in the path of the proposed high-speed train back home were less than impressed. "I ...

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 ...

Maglev trains can reach incredible speeds and are already operating in parts of the world. But building them in the United ...

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 ...

I disagree with the recent commentary by Angelette C. Aviles opposing the proposed Northeast Maglev high-speed train (“Why Maryland’s maglev dream doesn’t track,” April 21). I respect her perspective, ...

China has successfully tested a magnetic levitation (Maglev) technology which could see trains travel faster than most planes. The most recent test, demonstrated at Donghu Laboratory in Hubei Province ...
