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 ...

Could a train possibly keep up with a Boeing 737? China now holds the key to this problem with its T-Flight project. The idea here is to set a brand-new record in train speed by incorporating the ...

While it's not yet operational, China has been testing a magnetic levitation (maglev) train, the CR450 and successfully clocked speeds exceeding 620 miles per hour. For a bit of context, your average ...

The landmark test was conducted on a 400-meter experimental track and demonstrated not only ultra-rapid acceleration but also precise and safe braking.

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at China's National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) have accelerated a one-ton vehicle from a dead stop to 435 mph (700 km/h) in under two seconds – then back to zero mph on about ...
