A breakthrough in high-speed rail design could make the world's fastest trains safer, quieter, and greener. Chinese researchers have found a way to slash the deafening "tunnel boom" shock wave caused ...

Japan’s Maglev train isn’t just fast—it’s a futuristic leap in transportation. Using powerful magnetic levitation, it glides ...

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 ...

Researchers in China have researched a solution to one of the largest issues facing magnetic levitation (maglev) trains. Chinese engineers have developed porous buffers that fit into tunnel mouths to ...

China has successfully tested a magnetic levitation (Maglev) technology which could see trains travel faster than most planes. The most recent test, demonstrated at Donghu Laboratory in Hubei Province ...

Researchers in China say they have found a way to eliminate one of the biggest obstacles facing magnetic levitation (maglev) trains traveling at extreme speeds — the deafening “tunnel boom.” If ...

Gov. Wes Moore (D) watches a passing high-speed maglev train on April 12, 2025, during a trade mission to Japan. Moore supported the plan to operate a high-speed ...

As China builds out the next generation of magnetic levitation trains, the U.S. has a grand total of one maglev line in development. Or, make that had one in development, because Transportation ...

Federal officials cancelled $26 million in grants that would have funded a proposed high-speed train project between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. According to U.S. Department of Transportation ...
