Researchers in China have researched a solution to one of the largest issues facing magnetic levitation (maglev) trains. Chinese engineers have developed porous buffers that fit into tunnel mouths to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

With funding reform, Schnieder aims to establish magnetic tech as a modern, highly efficient alternative to subways in local ...

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 ...
