Transportation accounts for 16.2% of all global carbon pollution, according to Our World In Data. That is an extraordinary figure considering how much we rely on getting around as quickly and ...

On a short stretch of track in northern China, a heavy block of engineering briefly moved with the urgency of a launched projectile. In a test that prioritised hardware limits over passenger comfort, ...

As China builds out the next generation of magnetic levitation trains, the U.S. has a grand total of one maglev line in development. Or, make that had one in development, because Transportation ...

The L0 Series train being developed by Japan currently is likely to reach speeds of up to 603.5kmh, making it the world’s ...

Something to look forward to: The risk of generating dangerous shockwaves when exiting tunnels has long challenged high-speed rail systems. As maglev trains reach higher speeds, the problem becomes ...
