How it's used
Originally a scientific term from physics, this word has been widely adopted into internet slang and casual conversation. It is frequently used metaphorically to describe an invisible barrier or a sense of social awkwardness that prevents people from getting close to someone. You will often hear it used in gaming or anime contexts to describe defensive shields.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with physical strength, which is just 力 or 氣力. Using it to describe someone's physical power will sound confusing or nonsensical to native speakers.
