Erasmus00 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Posted April 19, 2011 Neutrons actually have magnetic moments. Keep in mind that neutrons are made out of three charged quarks. Quote
sanctus Posted April 19, 2011 Report Posted April 19, 2011 And if you are thinking of neutron stars, the name is misleading. They are not made of neutrons only, the name comes from the fact that it is the neutron pressure which prevents further collapse. Quote
