In the 1970s, Japanese scientists developed a technology called maglev, short for magnetic levitation, which allows trains to float above the tracks using powerful magnets. This innovative technology enables maglev trains to reach unprecedented speeds, with a recorded top speed of 603 kilometers per hour (375 miles per hour). Currently, the fastest operating maglev train is in Shanghai, China, and has a top speed of 430 kilometers per hour (267 miles per hour). Maglev trains not only revolutionize transportation by reducing travel time but also offer a smoother, quieter, and more energy-efficient alternative to traditional trains.
