Cover story The development of a new branch of physics — spin optics — has taken a step forwards thanks to a direct observation of the influence of the spin Hall effect of light on photon trajectories. Konstantin Bliokh and co-workers report two important observations: first, a spin-dependent deflection of photons; and second, precession of the Stokes vector along a coiled ray trajectory.
