Popis: Dispersion forces are present everywhere. Their importance, however, is largely neglected because directly at a surface or at an interface they are mostly weak compared with specific interaction of short range. Here, we show that these forces are nonetheless extremely relevant and may have drastic consequences on the stability of thin films. We demonstrate that a force (per unit area) of
