ISN Lab Access Request Form
ISN laboratories and equipment are available to members of the MIT research community. Completion of the ISN Lab Access Request Form is the first step in gaining access to ISN facilities.
In the early morning hours of August 17, 2025, Prof. John Joannopoulos, ISN Director since 2006 and a member of the MIT faculty since 1974, passed away following an extended battle with cancer. He will be sorely missed as a leader, scientist, educator, mentor, and friend. His legacy will endure.
