Renormalization Group techniques, successfully employed in quantum field theory and statistical physics, are applied to study the dynamics of structure formation in the Universe. A semi-analytic approach to the computation of the nonlinear power-spectrum of dark matter density fluctuations is proposed. The method can be applied down to zero redshift and to length scales where perturbation theory fails. Our predictions accurately fit the results of numerical simulations in reproducing the acoustic oscillations features of the power spectrum, which will be accurately measured in future galaxy surveys and will provide a probe to distinguish among different dark energy models.
