Chinese scientists at the National University of Defense Technology set a new world record for superconducting maglev trains by achieving a speed of 700 km/h during a test on December 25. This milestone surpassed the previous record of 648 km/h and demonstrates the potential of maglev technology for rapid passenger transport and future applications in rocket launches. The train, weighing nearly one ton, was tested on a 400-meter specialized track.
