First High-Temp Spin-Field-Effect Transistor Created

We use "featuring" to highlight or draw attention to the inclusion of one item or person in a number of things or people. By itself, applied to people, the word carries no implication of leadership. You could substitute "including" with no loss of meaning.
A vacation in Europe featuring a visit to Paris, a tour of Rome and a trip to Madrid.
I should add that "featuring" is slightly stronger than "including" - it carries a suggestion that the mentioned thing or person is especially important, interesting or significant.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
A feature is a part of something that stands out from the rest in some way.
