Don't know if this should be posted here or in technology but anyway I've heard that when the plane is landing the pilot reverses the thrust of the engines momentarily as a breaking mechanism. Anyone know if this is true and how it works?

I hope the engine (or any other part of the plane) doesn't "break".
