    Porosity generally embrittles ceramics. In contrast to such expectations, this report demonstrates that an effective fracture strain of nanoporous silica aerogels increases with increasing porosity. At ultralow relative densities of <0.5%, nanoporous monoliths start exhibiting super‐compressible deformation with effective fracture strains of >50%. This is attributed to consequences of an increase in the aspect ratio of ligaments with decreasing density.
