Comments on "Observation of the surface stress induced in microcantilevers by electrochemical redox processes" by F. Tian, J.H. Pei, D.L. Hedden, G.M. Brown, T. Thundat

Critical remarks have been formulated in connection with the surface stress measurements reported by Tian et al. It has been shown that due to the shortcomings of the experimental procedure some conclusions of the authors are hardly acceptable.
