China says its maglev hyperloop train has broken the world speed record in a test run, reaching a blistering 387 mph (623 km/h). Ultimately, its makers want to build a train more than three times as ...

China is pushing the boundaries of high-speed rail technology with its ambitious development of maglev trains that could revolutionize travel within the country. Passengers in China could soon stream ...

Earlier this week, everyone was banging on about Virgin Hyperloop, the train in a tube that’ll supposedly be able to hit speeds of 1,000 kph (620 mph) when it’s finished. More specifically, everyone ...

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk unveiled new details today (Aug. 12) about his proposed "Hyperloop" project, a futuristic, super-fast transportation system that could ferry passengers between Los ...

Hyperloops burst onto the scene in 2013. Elon Musk detailed a new type of train service in a low-pressure tube that would reach speeds up to 760 mph. The train would float on a cushion of air and be ...

The maglev train was tested on a 400 metre (1,310-foot) magnetic levitation (maglev) test line, and safely brought to a stop afterwards.

Getting from place to place has always been a problem, and problems tend to inspire innovation. Cars, trains, planes, and even the humble boat exist because someone needed a better way of getting ...

China has successfully tested a working Hyperloop-like train system that uses magnetic levitation (maglev) to transport its pods in vacuum-sealed tubes with little to no air resistance. It is already ...

SAN FRANCISCO – In a white-board world, hyperloop sounds ideal. Take a sleek pod, place it in a vacuum-sealed tube and let it float frictionless above its rails using tested magnetic levitation, or ...

Baltimore City is recommending against construction of a high-speed train that would shorten the trip between DC and Baltimore to a mere 15 minutes, a move that makes the project significantly less ...

Virgin Hyperloop came to be in June of 2014, promising to revolutionize transit with its concept of pressurized, high-speed pod travel. Now, over $400 million dollars in funding later, the company has ...
