China has set a new world record in high-speed rail technology after successfully testing a superconducting electric maglev train that reached a staggering speed of 700 km/h in just two seconds. The ...

In this three week storyline unit, students investigate a maglev train and the electromagnetic forces that cause a maglev train to levitate and provide the source of propulsion for the train. The ...

China has set a world record in maglev technology, testing and successfully accelerating a tonne-class vehicle to a speed of 700 km/h (435mph) in only two seconds' time. The test speed of the vehicle ...

Since the late ‘60s, scientists have been designing, building and operating “flying trains,” or magnetically levitated (“Maglev”) systems. However, the sci-fi-like technology still faces challenges ...

For centuries, the transport sector has been one of the biggest contributors to global carbon emissions. To address the problem, many research groups are now actively exploring how technology can help ...

CHANGSHA: China's major train maker has tested a new generation of maglev train with a designed speed of 160 km per hour, about 60 percent faster than the current model, in Changsha, capital of ...

China has set a new world record by testing its fastest maglev train, which reached a speed of 700 km per hour in just 2 seconds, moving so quickly that it is almost impossible to track with the naked ...

The train, created by scientists at the Southwest Jiotong University, has no wheels. China has unveiled the prototype of a new domestically developed superfast maglev train. The 69-foot “super bullet ...

In 2010, Nextbigfuture reported that Southwest Jiaotong University in China was developing a low pressure underground tubes and maglev train which will travel at 1,000 kilometers per hour (600 mph).
