What is it about?
This study reviews a special class of smart materials called multi-directional functionally graded (MDFG) nanomaterials. These materials change their properties in multiple directions, making them stronger, lighter, and more efficient for use in fields like aerospace, medicine, and nanoelectronic devices. The paper highlights how advanced modeling and design methods help us better understand and use these materials in real-world technologies.

Why is it important?
This work focuses on MDFG nanostructures, a rapidly emerging but underexplored area in material science. Unlike traditional materials, MDFG nanostructures allow tailored properties in multiple directions, enabling lighter, stronger, and more adaptive components. This review also bridges theory and real-world applications by identifying critical research gaps, highlighting the need for advanced modeling techniques, and emphasizing their potential use in cutting-edge technologies like MEMS/NEMS, aerospace systems, and biomedical devices. By offering a clear research roadmap, this work can accelerate innovation in next-generation nano-engineered materials.
Perspectives
From my perspective as a researcher, this paper is an important step toward making better and smarter materials for the future. I find it exciting because these materials can change their properties in different directions, which makes them very useful in real-world applications like tiny medical devices or parts of airplanes. I hope this work helps other researchers find new ideas and build even more advanced materials for everyday use.

Writing this article was a very rewarding experience for me. It gave me the chance to explore and explain this fast-growing area of research in a way that brings together both theory and real-world applications. Working with Prof. S. Chakraverty has always been a great learning experience, and his support helped shape this review article. I’ve always been curious about how materials behave at very small scales, and this work let me dive deeper into that. I hope this article helps other researchers and students understand the topic better and encourages more work in this exciting field.
