Maglev: An abbreviation for magnetic levitation, referring to systems that suspend and propel objects using magnetic forces.

Researchers from the Southwest Jiaotong University in China have developed cars that use magnetic levitation technology to float above a track. The eight vehicles were recently tested in Jiangsu along ...

Called "maglev," short for "magnetic levitation," the train system is designed to levitate via magnets as opposed to wheels. Maglev systems can reach higher speeds much more efficiently than their ...

Initial indications were that human error, not sophisticated maglev technology, was to blame for putting the maintenance vehicle on the track at the same time as the Transrapid train. The train was ...

A maglev demo in Europe has showcased how easy it would be to use newer, levitating trains on the already expansive European rail system.

Its reactor features a single, extremely powerful magnet levitating inside a vacuum chamber about 16 feet wide, which looks like a steel donut on legs.

Ultrasonic sound waves have been used to levitate objects in crowded rooms to make hologram-like displays. Such acoustic levitation was previously only practical in empty spaces, but a new ...

China Railway will use magnetic levitation technology, also called “manglev,” to operate the train and transport passengers at a speed faster than ever before.

In 1989, we were told the transportation of the future would float — as long as you weren’t over a body of water. That’s the year Back to the Future Part II was released, which, as anyone who was a ...

Did Finland test "the world's first engine-less superconducting maglev cargo pipeline, capable of moving cargo at over 500 km/h using no engines, wheels or tracks", as a social media post claimed? No, ...
