Their discovery — made using a 2D electronic device

[GoodTaste]

I understand "made using a 2D electronic device" as "(the discovery was) made by using a 2D electronic device". Am I on the right track?

Physicists have reported what could be the first incontrovertible evidence of the existence of unusual particle-like objects called anyons, first proposed more than 40 years ago. Anyons are latest addition to a growing family of phenomena called quasiparticles, which are not elementary particles but collective excitations of many electrons in solid devices. Their discovery — made using a 2D electronic device — could represent the first steps towards making anyons the basis of future quantum computers.

Yes. The author could have written Their discovery, which was made using a 2D electronic device, could represent the first steps ….
