High-speed, maglev trains capable of reaching speeds 215 miles per hour are nothing new for China’s sprawling transportation system. But a recent announcement from government officials triples that ...

China’s latest maglev experiment is not just a laboratory stunt, it is a blunt demonstration of how far the country is willing to push transport technology while the United States and Europe argue ...

Researchers at China’s Southwest Jiaotong University recently built a prototype for a “super maglev,” a track that carries a train at incredibly high speed using magnetic levitation (maglev). What ...

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 ...

In 2013, Elon Musk talked about the Hyperloop. A futuristic transport system built around near-vacuum tubes designed to whisk passengers between cities at speeds of up to 1,000 km/h (621 mph). Though ...

CASC designs, develops, and manufactures everything from spacecraft to missiles, but it’s currently working on a hyperloop. The company has built a section of low-vacuum tube that is roughly 1.2 miles ...

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, ...

Earlier this week, everyone was banging on about Virgin Hyperloop, the train in a tube that’ll supposedly be able to hit speeds of 1,000 kph (620 mph) when it’s finished. More specifically, everyone ...
