Abstract: Three-nucleon interactions are a frontier in understanding and predicting the structure of strongly-interacting matter in laboratory nuclei and in the cosmos. We present results and discuss the status of first calculations with microscopic three-nucleon interactions beyond light nuclei. This coherent effort is possible due to advances based on effective field theory and renormalization group methods in nuclear physics.<br />7 pages, 11 figures, talk at International Symposium on New Facet of Three-Nucleon Force (FM50), Tokyo, October, 2007
