We investigate the character of the van der Waals (vdW) torque and force between two coplanar and dielectrically anisotropic topological insulator (TI) slabs separated by a vacuum gap in the nonretardation regime, where the optic axes of the slabs are each perpendicular to the normal direction to th...
