We will describe an explicit reciprocity law for generalised Heegner cycles, relating the images of certain twists of these classes under the Bloch-Kato dual exponential map to certain Rankin-Selberg L-values, and explain the applications of this formula to the proof of certain rank 0 cases of the Bloch-Kato conjecture. This is a joint work with M.-L. Hsieh.
