Abstract Excitons—bound states of electrons and holes—can spontaneously condense into a quantum coherent ground state. 1T-TiSe2, a layered transition metal dichalcogenide, is a candidate for realizing this phase in a bulk material, but its putative excitonic condensation is accompanied by charge-density-wave formation that obscures signatures of excitonic instability and fluctuations in this structural transition.
Hyper-independence, dating apps, and the “me-first” mindset are quietly reshaping love and loneliness. Modern dating has become a reflection of a broader societal shift toward individualism — and that might not be such a good thing. We live in an era obsessed with autonomy and emotional optimization.
