Gate universality is a concept that refers to individual logic gates, primarily NAND and NOR, being functionally complete.
In CMOS, converting complex logic functions into NAND and NOR-based logic can sometimes allow additional optimizations by removing redundant sets of pMOS and nMOS pairs of transistors.
