The two are quite unrelated. It would be harder to find similarities than differences.
More exactly, the two are only related by the fact that (as of 2013) we don't understand either -- thus the name "dark."
Dark matter is the type of matter that exists throughout our Universe, which interacts with baryonic matter (ie, the stuff we understand) only through gravity. This stuff (whatever it happens to be) warps space and prevents galaxies from flying apart as they spin; but does not interact via the electromagnetic force, the strong force, or the weak force. Its mass density in our Universe, as best we can tell, is about six times greater than that of bayronic matter.
Dark energy is whatever is causing the space within our Universe to increase the rate of expansion. Gravity SHOULD be slowing down that expansion over billions of years, but SOMETHING is causing the rate to go higher. What is causing this? -- we have no idea!!
From my studies dark energy creates electrical phtons making a stonger pull to the source than dark matter does. In fact, I think that dark energy can power a car, but sadly it is impossible to harness dark energy. I'll have to do little more research to be sure.
The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.
Dark energy. The current estimates for the distribution of mass/energy in the Universe are approximately: 68% dark energy 27% dark matter 5% baryonic (i.e. "normal") matter
Dark matter and dark energy have NOT been detected yet, so any ideas about detecting dark energy and dark matter, whether it be directly or indirectly, is speculation for now.
There is no large or distinct difference between the two.
Standard physics and chemistry are based on the energy and matter that we know. We do not know much about dark energy or dark matter, but only that it may exist.
4% Visible Matter (Atoms) 23% Dark Matter 73% Dark Energy
Negative energy and dark energy are two distinct concepts in physics. Negative energy refers to a theoretical concept where energy levels are below zero, which is not observed in nature. On the other hand, dark energy is a mysterious force that is thought to be responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe. While negative energy is not directly observed, dark energy has a significant impact on the dynamics of the universe by counteracting the gravitational pull of matter and causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate.
Dark matter cannot be used as fuel for energy production because it does not interact with regular matter in a way that can be harnessed for energy generation.

It is believed that about 4% of the mass in the Universe is normal matter. About 23% is dark matter (matter of unknown composition), the remainder being something even more mysterious called dark energy. I suggest searching the Wikipedia for "dark matter" and "dark energy", for more details about both.
Negative space is dark energy and dark matter.
