The test was carried out by a team from the National University of Defence Technology on a 400‑metre maglev test track. The vehicle reached the record speed and was then brought safely to a stop at ...

The test was carried out by researchers from China’s National University of Defence Technology, who accelerated a magnetic levitation vehicle weighing around 1,000 kg to the record-breaking speed.

The train floats above the track using superconducting magnets, which both lift the vehicle and propel it forward without any physical contact with the rails.

Chinese researchers achieved a historic breakthrough by accelerating a superconducting maglev train to 700 km/h in just two ...

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 ...

Canada is quietly betting that its next great infrastructure project will not be a highway or a conventional rail line, but a sealed tube where magnetically levitated pods move at near-jet speeds. The ...

The train did not travel long enough to establish a new endurance speed record, but the burst of acceleration surpassed benchmarks reported in earlier maglev trials globally, according to technical ...

In fiction, magic makes levitation easy. With a simple swish-and-flick of his wand, Ron Weasley yanks a troll’s club high above its head in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Through graceful ...
