F35B power nozzle braking

Just reading that the Prince of Wales will be heading to the US East coast and will be conducting further F35 development work


This includes continuing expansion of the rolling vertical landing abilities some while carrying external stores


The article mentions that ‘power nozzle braking’ will be used to assist in stopping the aircraft after touchdown


I understand how that worked on the Harrier but I’m not clear on its functionality in the F35B


Anyone have more details ?
