Through Albert Einstein and Gravitational wave
This metric can be written in a form such that the Belinski–Zakharov transform applies, and thus has the form of a gravitational soliton.
In 1972 and 1973, J. R. Rao, A. R. Roy, and R. N. Tiwari published a class of exact solutions involving the Einstein-Rosen metric.
In 2021 Robert F. Penna found an algebraic derivation of the Einstein-Rosen metric.
In the history of science, one might consider as a footnote to the Einstein-Rosen metric that Einstein, for some time, believed that he had found a non-existence proof for gravitational waves.
