Here is the arxiv link. I'd be interested to hear comments from people more expert than I. The claim is that both dark energy and dark matter can be understood as consequences of gravity as an entropic force.
Verlinde's new entropic gravity paper

SUMMARY
Erik Verlinde's new paper presents a groundbreaking perspective on dark energy and dark matter, proposing that both phenomena can be interpreted as manifestations of gravity as an entropic force. This theory challenges traditional views in cosmology and suggests a unified framework for understanding these cosmic components. The discussion encourages engagement from experts in the field to provide insights and critiques on this innovative approach.
