China says its maglev hyperloop train has broken the world speed record in a test run, reaching a blistering 387 mph (623 km/h). Ultimately, its makers want to build a train more than three times as ...

In 2013, Elon Musk talked about the Hyperloop. A futuristic transport system built around near-vacuum tubes designed to whisk passengers between cities at speeds of up to 1,000 km/h (621 mph). Though ...

Arguably the main player in the crowded hyperloop space, Hyperloop One — which had previously seen investment from the Virgin Group founded by Richard Branson — couldn’t balance the books. Yet nearly ...

That was the prevailing feeling (and, indeed, the headline) when Hyperloop One ceased operations in December 2023. The dream was over. The idea of hyperloop — trains “flying” through pressurized tubes ...
