The time-dependent version of nuclear density functional theory, using functionals derived from Skyrme interactions, is able to approximately describe nuclear dynamics. We present time-dependent results of calculations of dipole resonances, concentrating on excitations of valence neutrons against a proton plus neutron core in the neutron-rich doubly-magic $^{ 132}$Sn nucleus, and results of collision dynamics, highlighting potential routes to ternary fusion, with the example of a collision of $^{ 48}$Ca+$^{ 48}$Ca+$^{ 208}$Pb resulting in a compound nucleus of element 120 stable against immiedate fission
