Maglev Train

From strange drone-fueled UFO sightings to supersonic maglev trains, technology has had a busy year. Here are our top 10 tech stories of 2024.

DARPA has tasked Northrop Grumman Corporation to come up with a plan for a railroad network on the Moon. The transportation system would be used to move...

Chinese scientists are working on a giant electromagnetic launch track to launch a massive 50-ton space plane that's longer than a Boeing 737 into orbit. As ...

Magneto X is a new 3D printer from Peopoly that can produce artifact-free objects on the desktop using magnets. The printer employs Peopoly's proprietary MagXY magnetic linear...

Maglevs are one of those technologies that still look like magic, even years after they were initially rolled out. While they have long been a workhorse of the transportation systems of some major cities, they don't often impact the day-to-day lives of people who don't use them to commute. But, they might be invaluable in another setting—lunar exploration. There's an ongoing debate about the best way to shuttle…

In a world where technological innovation is constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible, the ongoing research into a tantalizing material known

PI's new technologies presented at 2023 LASER World of Photonics in Munich, Germany.

Tom Scott got a ride on the SCMaglev, a Japanese magnetic levitation (maglev) railway system that holds the record for clocking a top-speed of 375 miles per hour.

All around the world, governments are investing in public transport to reduce car use and create a greener world. And, now, Eastern Europe is going all in with the rail infrastructure ...

From superfast magnetic levitation trains and computer chips to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines and particle accelerators, superconductors are electrifying various aspects of our life. Superconductivity is an interesting property that allows materials to transfer moving charges without any resistance, below a certain critical point. This implies that superconducting materials can transfer electrical…

Provincial transport authorities are testing a new highway lane for maglev cars. The experiment saw a 2.8-tonne car float 35 millimeters above the road and run smoothly on a highway without crashing or veering.

The roads of China will soon be filled with maglev vehicles.

We've tested a European-spec Buzz, but the US models have to wait until 2024.

A new study shows that nickel oxide superconductors, which conduct electricity with no loss at higher temperatures than conventional superconductors do, contain a type of quantum matter called charge density waves, or CDWs, that can accompany superconductivity.

He's the PT Barnum of tech, the clown prince of wannabe edgelords, and the laughingstock of the artificial intelligence community. Elon Musk recently went on the record with what ...

The drone. The iPhone. Bluetooth. GPS. Before they changed the world, these technologies were schematics on paper. Here are the drawings where the future began.

The idea for a trans-Atlantic tunnel has been around for more than a century, but no fully-formed plans currently exist.

/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Thermaltake, the global leader in high-performance gaming PCs and innovative hardware, is set to make waves at CES 2025 with an...

Mechatronics is a multi- and interdisciplinary field at the intersection of mechanical systems, electronics, controls, and computer science — for some MIT mechanical engineering students, the class feels "like magic."
