The number factored by the NMR device is 157573. If this is correct it
amounts to a significant advance in the physics of computation.

Does this represent a threat to RSA??

Note: A 24 digit number is factored as well however the potential for
factoring a large numbers such as RSA - 129 is unknown.

Note that the 24-digit "factorization" was done by numerical
simulation, not by actual experiment.
