The name may have changed, but the result is the same: For the fourth time in a row, a German team registered the top speed in SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s Hyperloop pod race for college-level engineers.

Although the win was another step forward for the theoretical transportation technology, TUM only beat the previous record by 4 mph, far short of the technology’s theoretical 760 mph max speed. The ...

Tesla founder Elon Musk came up with the hyperloop concept in 2013. There has been so much hype, with several firms years ago saying that we would have a mass-scale hyperloop system by now. But the ...

Hyperloop, Elon Musk’s design for a vacuum-sealed pod transit system, may soon edge closer to its theoretical maximum speeds of 700 mph. That’s all thanks to a big change coming at the SpaceX campus, ...

SpaceX hosted its fourth annual SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition finals on Sunday at the test tube it built outside its Hawthorne HQ. We were on site for the competition, and watched as Team TUM, from ...

During the competition, student teams from all over the world will compete for the fastest, best pod system. Like a sort of pneumatic tube, the pods shoot through a near vacuum tube, shaping the way ...

Hyperloop set a new public speed record this month, but with a figure just shy of 300 miles per hour, you could be forgiven for thinking the super-fast train is a bit of a slowcoach. The vacuum-sealed ...

It’s no secret that we have a travel problem. Getting around town takes too long, roads are congested, and if you want to travel between cities, taking a slow train doesn’t exactly work out. But ...

MUNICH — Hyperloop, a mega-fast transportation system dreamed up in 2013 by Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, was supposed to be a reality by now. But it hasn't quite worked out that way. There has ...
