A family of hard carbon aerogels with nanofibrous network structure is fabricated by using various one‐dimensional nanofibers as templates as described by Shu‐Hong Yu and co‐workers in article number 1900651 . These aerogels display robust and stable mechanical performances, including high strength, extremely fast recovery speed (860 mm s −1 ), and ultralow energy‐loss coefficient (<0.16). Moreover, after being compressed for 10 4 cycles at 50% strain, they show only 2% plastic deformation and retain 93% of the original stress.
