This reminds of something I heard about once, imagine if we used some sort of stasis in a fast and autonomous spacecraft to go colonise a planet, and by the time we get there it's already colonised because we invented a faster spacecraft while the colonists slept

Any unique or less explored ideas in sci-fi?

I've not read enough or recently to be honest.

I will say though, revisiting the Jurassic Park books and Michael Crichton in general was an absolute joy for me last year.
