Winners of the 2023 Eureka Prizes were recently announced during a live broadcast event on Wednesday, 23 August at the Australian Museum.
Finalists from almost every state and territory across Australia were in the running for 18 Australian Museum Eureka Prizes across four categories: Research and Innovation, Leadership, Science Engagement, and School Science.
ANSTO has proudly partnered with the Australian Museum for these awards for over ten years, and this year's awards feature the ANSTO Eureka Prize for Innovative Use of Technology, which is awarded for the innovative application of a new or existing technology that has led to a significantly improved research outcome.
Winner of the ANSTO Eureka Prize for Innovative Use of Technology
IMAGENDO, University of Adelaide; and OMNI Ultrasound and Gynaecological Care
Endometriosis affects one in nine Australian women and people assigned female at birth, who experience significant pain and economic impacts during the six or more years it takes to receive a diagnosis. IMAGENDO is building innovative artificial intelligence capabilities to pair with MRI and ultrasound technology that, with further development, will provide rapid, non-invasive diagnosis.

Perovskite Solar Window Team, Monash University and CSIRO
Cities will need to find new sources of renewable energy to reduce the impacts of climate change. The Perovskite Solar Window Team has developed a next-generation solar window technology using a class of materials called perovskites. The new use of this material has the potential to transform the windows of urban buildings into power generators.
The UNSW Bone Ink Printing Team, UNSW
Merging ceramic engineering and biofabrication, The UNSW Bone Ink Printing Team has demonstrated the feasibility of using 3D printing technology to construct living cell-laden structures that closely replicate real bones. With potential for directly repairing or replacing patients’ bones, this breakthrough offers substantial promise in the fields of regenerative medicine, orthopaedics and dentistry.
About the Eureka Prizes
The Eureka Prizes were established in 1990, and since then, close to 500 Eureka Prizes have been awarded.
Presented annually in partnership with some of the nation's leading scientific institutions, government organisations, universities, and corporations, the Eureka Prizes raise the profile of science and science engagement in the community by celebrating outstanding achievement.
