Maglev trains are used in Japan, South Korea and China only.

Maglev derived from magnetic levitation using the principle of magnetic repulsion is a system of train transportation that uses two sets of magnets, one set to repel and push the train up off the track as in levitation then another set to move the 'floating train' ahead at great speed taking advantage of no friction. Maglev trains are therefore quieter and smoother than conventional trains, and have the potential for much higher speeds

Despite over a century of research and development, maglev transport systems are in operation in just three countries Japan, South Korea and China.

Hence Maglev -- Magnetic-levitation.

Magnetic tape can serve as a Secondary storage unit. It is a medium for magnetic recording, made of a thin, magnetizable coating on a long, narrow strip of plastic film.

Glycolysis is the chemical process that converts glucose C₆H₁₂O₆, into Pyruvate, CH₃COCOO− + H⁺.

Tetraethyl lead is a highly toxic compound used as a gasoline additive.

Tetraethyl lead abbreviated as TEL, is an organo lead compound with the formula (CH₃CH₂)₄Pb. It is a petro-fuel additive which in turn caused increased vehicle performance. This is also used as an antiknock agent in gasoline and jet fuels. Tetraethyl lead is absorbed rapidly by the skin, the lungs, and the gastrointestinal tract. It is converted to triethyl lead, which might be responsible for its toxicity.
