It has been demonstrated experimentally that the trajectories of relativistic nuclei can be controlled with a curved single crystal. Carbon nuclei with a momentum of 53 GeV/c, captured into planar channelling by a curved silicon single crystal, have been deflected through an angle of about 65 mrad.
