Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a system of rail transport whose rolling stock is levitated by electromagnets rather than rolled on wheels, eliminating rolling resistance. [1][2][3]

Dec 17, 2025 · A maglev is a floating vehicle for land transportation that is supported by either electromagnetic attraction or repulsion. Maglevs use magnetic forces—like poles repel each …

3 days ago · China's Defence University sets world record as maglev train hits 700 km/h, marking a breakthrough in ultra-high-speed travel.

5 days ago · The maglev train was tested on a 400 metre (1,310-foot) magnetic levitation (maglev) test line, and safely brought to a stop afterwards. China has set a world record in …

5 days ago · China Maglev Train: Chinese researchers achieved a world record for superconducting electric maglev systems, sending a one-tonne vehicle to 700 km/h on a 400 …

Dec 25, 2025 · Feat seen to catapult China into global top tier of ultra-high-speed maglev technology and unlock new possibilities for hyperloop transport.

Jun 14, 2016 · In Maglev, superconducting magnets suspend a train car above a U-shaped concrete guideway. Like ordinary magnets, these magnets repel one another when matching …

Sep 15, 2025 · At its core, maglev relies on an elegant principle: magnetism. By harnessing powerful electromagnets, trains can be lifted and propelled without ever touching the track.

5 days ago · China has achieved a major breakthrough in high-speed transport after successfully testing a magnetic levitation vehicle that reached 700 km/h in just two seconds. The record …
