Magnetic levitation, or maglev, technology has been around since the 1940s, but it's only now coming into focus as a means of high-speed transit. There are several maglev train systems spread ...

CASC designs, develops, and manufactures everything from spacecraft to missiles, but it’s currently working on a hyperloop. The company has built a section of low-vacuum tube that is roughly 1.2 miles ...

China's biggest missile manufacturer is working on a hyperloop. CASIC claims it's clocked the fastest speed ever for a superconducting maglev vehicle – over 623 km/h (387 mph) – during tests in a ...

China’s maglev research program has logged a new speed milestone, launching a 1.1-tonne test vehicle to 650 km/h (about 404 mph) in only seven seconds and within 600 m of track. The run, conducted on ...

China has successfully completed the demonstration test of its innovative ultra-high-speed (UHS) maglev transportation system, achieving a significant milestone. This new maglev train can reach speeds ...
