Capillarity is a phenomenon that only happens in the water?

At left, the water colunm is minor than the right collunm...
Capilarity is a electric effect? But, the water entropy may be oriented by glass channel?

Capillary flow is a common phenomenon, driven by interfacial energy and the contact angle. All fluids can show capillary-driven flow effects (capillary rise, Marangoni flow, etc).
