As for the fantasy metal, we've already created something along those lines: graphene.
I agree that the science shouldn't over ride the fiction and that is why I like the soft science fiction more than the hard science fiction. That doesn't stop me from going mythbusters on it later.

Graphene is an interesting material, but I wouldn't call it gundanium just yet. Also since gundanium is refereed to as a metal and graphene is more of a composite, it doesn't exactly fit. It could work for other fantasy metals though.
