It was recently discovered that the low-temperature, charge-ordered phase of $1T\mathrm{\text{\ensuremath{-}}}{\mathrm{TiSe}}_{2}$ has a chiral character. This unexpected chirality in a system described by a scalar order parameter could be explained in a model where the emergence of relative phase shifts between three charge density wave components breaks the inversion symmetry โ€ฆ
