: The image is explicitly set to a width of 550 pixels and a height of 343 pixels .
: To make this valid HTML and accessible for screen readers, you should add an alt attribute describing the image (e.g., ).
: Setting width and height is a best practice for improving page performance as it avoids "layout shifts".
: The ratio of width to height is approximately 1.6:1 (often used for standard web images).
: If you want the image to scale for mobile devices, you may need to use CSS to set max-width: 100%; and height: auto; , which will override the fixed pixel dimensions when the screen is smaller than 550px. HTML image embed element - MDN Web Docs - Mozilla
: Specifying these attributes allows the browser to reserve the required space for the image before it finishes loading, preventing the page layout from jumping or shifting. Best Practices for Implementation
The image tag provided, , is used to embed an image in an HTML document with specific dimensions.

We are proud that the Smart Materials Lab is the leading team in impactful chemistry research in the United Arab Emirates, with research output that, according to the Nature Index, accounts for 40‒60% of the total chemistry publications within the country, both in fractional count and weighed fractional count. The past and current research projects in the Smart Materials Lab have been sponsored by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC), Human Science Frontier Program Organization (HFSPO), and the UAE National Research Foundation (NRF), in addition to generous financial support from NYUAD and the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute. The members of the Smart Materials Lab work closely with NYUAD's Center for Smart Engineering Materials (CSEM).
