Neutron electric dipole moment

Neutrons are tiny particles inside an atom (atoms are the tiny pieces that make up everything!). Neutrons have a certain amount of positive and negative charges inside them, kind of like a magnet. The positive and negative charges on the neutron like to stick together, but they can also flip around sometimes. If a neutron flips around, the amount of positive and negative charges changes and it forms an electric dipole moment. This happens very rarely, but when it does it can help scientists better understand how neutrons work and interact with other particles.
