Kind: research · Impact: low

## In brief

- Excitonic insulating and superconducting orders are generally regarded as mutually exclusive electronic instabilities.
- The paper reports a self-consistent microscopic theory of electronic systems hosting an excitonic insulating phase.
- The theory finds excitonic-superconducting coexistence and emergent nematic superconductivity driven by spontaneous symmetry breaking.

## Why it matters

The work challenges the assumption that excitonic insulating and superconducting order cannot coexist, which could guide the search for correlated electron phases with nematic superconductivity.
