פוטוניקה
המחקר בננופוטוניקה במרכז BINA מקיף שני תחומים עיקריים: ראיה והדמייה ומעבר של אינפורמציה אופטית. בתחום האחד משפרים מדעני BINA טכניקות הדמייה עבור חומרים ביולוגיים ובשני, בוחנים מגנטיות ברמה האטומית, מחקר שיכול להוביל בעתיד לכך שמהנדסי מחשבים יוכלו לעבור את הגבולות הקלאסיים של מהירות עיבוד הנתונים ורוחב פס המידע. בחיבור בין גישות ניסיוניות ותאורטיות מסייעים חוקרי BINA לקידום ההבנה והבקרה של ההתנהגות הקוונטית של אור.
