Abstract: Abstract Nikolaides et al.1 propose that the puzzling attraction that occurs between micrometre-sized particles adsorbed at an aqueous interface is caused by a distortion of the liquid interface that is due to the dipolar electric field of the particles and which induces a capillary attraction. Here we argue that this effect cannot account for the observed attraction, on the fundamental grounds that it is inconsistent with force balance.
