Transition metal trichalcogenides exhibit large tunability of nontrivial electronic states by modifying chemical composition, temperature, and pressure. Despite great interest in TMTCs, very little information exists on how their electronic properties change with compression. Here, we systematically investigate the high-pressure behavior of n-type semiconducting TiS3 of one-dimensional microstructural form. High-pressure electrical resistance measurements up to 98 GPa identify an exotic sequence of transitions from being a semiconductor to insulator, then metal and finally, a hitherto undiscovered superconducting phase at pressures above 70 GPa. The experimental results are supported by first-principles theoretical calculations.
