A car equipped with magnetic levitation (maglev) technology has been successfully tested on a highway in China, according to local media. The 2.8-tonne vehicle hovered 35 millimetres above the road ...

Researchers in Shanghai have developed a physics-guided neural operator that predicts the levitation air-gap response of EMS ...

Why it matters: When people discuss maglev technology, it usually concerns train systems where it is known for allowing incredible speeds. Recent tests have explored the potential advantages maglev ...

Although railway construction issues have pushed back the scheduled start of the Linear Chuo Shinkansen Line, improvements on test cars and comfort levels appear to be proceeding smoothly.

Maglev trains are very real and very practical, but maglev cars? Well, let’s just say they aren’t exactly in their golden age. That hasn’t stopped researchers at China’s Southwest Jiaotong University ...
