Germany’s federal railway authority has issued the European country’s first license for public magnetic levitation (maglev) train operation, in a major milestone for the nascent technology’s use.

Maglev bullet trains promise a future where steel wheels and clattering rails give way to smooth, floating speed. Yet the reality on today’s tracks is more nuanced, with some systems gliding entirely ...

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 ...

As the United States struggles to keep its major cities connected by even the most barebones rail systems, China is screaming into the future with the development of a levitating bullet train. Called ...

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 ...

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 ...

As a result, Maglev trains can run at top speeds between 250 and 300 miles per hour. That is significantly faster than Amtrak’s soon to be launched NextGen Acela, a high-speed passenger train between ...

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 ...

Until recently, Maglev trains were being considered for passenger service between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore and eventually between Washington, D.C., and New York City. Unlike traditional ...
