- dventimi 3y agoNo, that article is referring to COLD dark matter, which is responsible for structure formation but does not encompass all possible species of dark matter. There are others. "Warm" dark matter is one of them and neutrinos are an example. It's difficult to explain structure formation with warm dark matter, which prompts the search for cold dark matter. Popular science articles like this one truncated the term, where it's entered the popular lexicon as just "dark matter."
