But the science of why it matters is, by comparison, relatively simple. With no physical friction from a track, maglev trains can attain extremely high speeds; a working commercial maglev train in Shanghai can hit 268 miles per hour , while a test superconducting maglev system in Japan reached a staggering 373 miles per hour in 2015.
