Earlier this week, everyone was banging on about Virgin Hyperloop, the train in a tube that’ll supposedly be able to hit speeds of 1,000 kph (620 mph) when it’s finished. More specifically, everyone ...

China sets world record as maglev train hits 700 km/h in 2 seconds. The breakthrough opens doors for high-speed transport and ...

SAN FRANCISCO – In a white-board world, hyperloop sounds ideal. Take a sleek pod, place it in a vacuum-sealed tube and let it float frictionless above its rails using tested magnetic levitation, or ...

Hyperloops burst onto the scene in 2013. Elon Musk detailed a new type of train service in a low-pressure tube that would reach speeds up to 760 mph. The train would float on a cushion of air and be ...
