Europe is very close to making a huge move for its railway industry. A test by Italian firm IronLev has provided successful examples of how a magnetic levitation train, or maglev, might work on ...

Maglev sounds as sci-fi as teleporters and hovercars. A train that levitates above a track using electromagnets and cruises at aircraft speeds? That couldn’t possibly be a reality. Except it is. China ...

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 ...

Imagine gliding across long distances at nearly 400 miles per hour on a train that floats silently above its tracks. No rattling wheels, no jolts, just a smooth, whisper-quiet ride. This is the ...
