In 2025 Japan will launch a super-high-speed train on a magnetic pillow

Japan has begun construction of the first commercial line for super-high-speed trains on a magnetic pillow.
Trains on a new line will use magnetic levitation technology - the magnetic field allows train to soar above a line and due to it to move much faster than a usual train.
Now in the world operates one such […]
