Abstract: Surprisingly, neutral particles (such as neutrons) with electric dipoles can be accelerated by uniform electromagnetic fields. The force responsible, a consequence of the so-called hidden momentum of the dipole, has never been seen, but with the right field arrangement its effect on a neutron beam should be detectable.
