The magnetic levitation train is propelled forward by powerful electromagnets and hovers about the rail. The concept allows trains to hit speeds of hundreds of miles per hour because there’s no rail ...

China has revealed a prototype for a new high-speed Maglev train that is capable of reaching speeds of 620 kilometers (385 miles) per hour. The train runs on high-temperature superconducting (HTS) ...

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 ...

China has produced the first of a new breed of maglev trains capable of speeds up to 600 km/h (373 mph), or nearly half the speed of sound. It says these will be the fastest ground transport services ...

High-speed rail travel has transformed the way people move across countries and continents. From Japan’s groundbreaking Shinkansen to China’s ultra-modern maglev systems, trains are now competing with ...

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 ...
