From the outside, they're virtually indistinguishable: male and female sea cucumbers look almost identical, making them pretty hard to breed.

Enter PhD student Paul Wright, who dedicated his research to uncovering more about the secret lives of these mysterious creatures.

Here's a cool development in the tech-engineering world – Professor Kenneth Ang has developed digital-forensics technology that can identify where and when videos or photos were captured, even when GPS data and metadata have been removed.

The system, which analyses faint power-grid signatures recorded by devices, could be used to help find missing persons and assist with serious criminal investigations.

Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the devastating landslides and flash flooding near the Nepal-China border.

Many of our international students – as well as members of our staff – have connections to the disaster hit region.

They bring diverse perspectives and experiences, culturally enriching our campuses and adding immense value to the communities in which we live and work.

At this challenging time, we are thinking of all of those who have family, friends and loved ones affected by the catastrophe.

The wellbeing of our students and staff is paramount, and we have support services in place. More details are available on our website.

As the impact of the Nepal-China border disaster is felt across our community, UniSC is providing support for affected s

It becomes obvious when you talk with Emily why she was awarded Primary Teacher of the Year at the 2026 Australian Education Awards.

Her love of teaching and education is palpable – shaped in large part by her experiences teaching in some of the most beautiful and culturally rich parts of Australia.

Our researchers are creating a biobank to help uncover why bowel cancer diagnoses among young people have increased by 200 percent over the past 20 years.

Cancer biologist Dr Lochlan Fennell said, "We hope that analysing the tissue stored in the biobank will help us better understand how risk factors have changed over time, as well as how the disease develops and progresses."

This is an important initiative addressing a growing health concern. Follow the link to learn more.

A human tissue biobank is being set up by the University of the Sunshine Coast as part of a $2.5 million research projec

There's a lot of love out there for Australian-made video games but new findings suggest most players struggle to identify which games are actually made in the land down under.

The research showed that many gamers struggled to identify that even our biggest exports – such as Unpacking, Hollow Knight: Silksong and Untitled Goose Game – were Australian made.

Apart from opportunities to better promote our tight-knit, indie-gamer scene, which punches well above its weight class, the research has also suggested new markets Australia could explore tapping into.

We have a unique opportunity to create a lasting legacy for inclusive sport in the lead-up to Brisbane's 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

But achieving that goal means tackling barriers that still prevent many people with disability from participating, not only in elite sport, but across local clubs, schools, rehabilitation services, gyms and community programs.

In this collaborative article, Clinical Exercise Physiologist Dr Dan van den Hoek and Sporting Wheelies Chief Operating Officer Dane Cross explore how technology can help make sport more accessible, while arguing that true inclusion requires much more than innovation alone.

It's essential reading for anyone interested in sport, health, exercise science, rehabilitation, disability inclusion or the future legacy of Brisbane 2032.

As the authors write, meaningful change will only come through "partnerships, trust, research, lived experience, practical design and long-term commitment."

From AI-powered support tools to adaptive equipment, new technologies are helping to transform inclusive sport but only

Here's a new one for you – dolphins have been filmed off Queensland's coast using shells to help hunt fish.

The fascinating behaviour shows the aquatic mammals chasing fish into a large empty shell – held in their beak – before lifting and manipulating the shell at the water’s surface to drain the fish into their mouths.

Ingenious – and, what's more, researchers believe calves might be learning this clever trick from their mother.
