With a top speed of 600km per hour, China is all set to define railway travel where a 1,200km distance can be covered in just 150 minutes. Yes, you read it right. Beijing has successfully tested a ...

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 ...

See how scientists proposed a model for a magnetic levitation (Maglev) train that shoots through a massive vacuum-sealed tube in order to reach orbital velocities and propel the train into outer space ...
