Magnetic diffusion is a key ingredient in mean-field dynamo models but neither observations nor theory are able to produce reliable values. Numerical simulations provide an alternative way to determine the turbulent electromotive force. Cross helicity allows us to determine the turbulent magnetic diffusion coefficient in simulations of stellar magnetoconvection.
