Scientists racing to fight to the new coronavirus are sharing early results online rather than waiting for traditional, peer-reviewed medical journals

They slept just a couple of hours a night while they constructed a three-dimensional model of the new virus and analyzed its proteins for clues about what drugs or vaccines might work against it—a process that normally can take months. “I would have meetings at 3 a.m. with my research group,” Dr. Korkin said.
