A force caused by an interface through its contact-line surface tension and the capillary pressure it produces. Both contributions must be counted with consistent geometry. For a narrow, completely wetting liquid bridge between flat plates of wetted radius a and gap d≪a, the leading attractive force is 2πa2γ/d.
