We point out that the Kalb–Ramond field can couple to the Ramond and Neveu–Schwarz fields of superstring theory in a way that can generate a coupling of the Kalb–Ramond field to dark matter dipole moments. Electroweak dipole dark matter could then arise from the Ramond sector of superstrings with low string scale TeV.
