I mean, it could. But I haven't seen any mention that the conditions of this experiment match the interstellar conditions that indicate Dark Matter (which is usually the angular velocity of galaxies not matching the theoretical prediction).

There's smarter people than me working on dark matter, but one thing to consider is that dark matter may well be simply that -- matter that we're unable to see for inane reasons such as being on a plane of vision that we're unable to see, similar to the unified model of an active galactic nucleus: http://web.physics.ucsb.edu/~ski/skipicture-1.html.

Again, exciting, but too soon to really say anything. Everyone should be suspect of the claims, it's just par for the course in physics.
